104 calzoneras
(Sp. model spelled same [kalsonéras]< calzón 'pants' [see above] plus the Spanish derivative suffix -era). Southwest: 1844. Blevins correctly observes that this term refers to Mexican or Spanish-style pants that are split along the outside seam, usually to reveal cotton or linen underwear. The edges of the split may be decorated with buttons, braids, or silver conchas. This term is referenced in the DRAE and the DM. Santamaría indicates that it refers to pants made of cloth or soft leather, left open from top to bottom on both sides. They had buttons and buttonholes so that the wearer could partially or completely close the splits. They were more common in earlier periods, especially for riding horseback. -
105 guancoche
(Sp. model spelled same [gwaŋkót∫e] < vanchoche, in Tarascan [a Meso-American Indian language of Southwestern Michoacan, Mexico], a net in which loads are carried, and in Sinaloa, Mexico, a blanket or bag made of the most ordinary sort of fiber)A gunnysack or large basket used in the Southwest and Mexico to carry items on a mule, horse, or burro. Santamaría glosses it as a thick, coarse, woven fabric used for lining and packing and in making gunnysacks. He indicates that the term is common in nearly all Latin-American countries, with some variations in spelling and meaning. Related forms: gancoche, gangocho, gangochi, guangochi, guangocho; all share the fundamental meaning of a coarse, crude, sparse cloth or loose robe; or a large sack, blanket, wrapped package, or container for heavy things made from such a fabric, all of which may be oversized or loose-fitting. It was probably influenced by the Mexicanism guango 'loose-fitting,' and has emigrated from Mexico to other countries. Whether or not cowboys or ranchers used such an artifact to transport goods, they probably knew some individuals who did and were aware of the term. -

111 Bichu Fibre
The name in India for the fibre from the stinging nettle, Urtica Dioica. The plant yields a large amount of fibre of large diameter. The plant is a common one in the U.S.A. and grows on waste land. In Sweden it is cultivated to some extent for its fibre, and used for cordage, low cloth, etc., and is known as Swedish hemp. -
112 Charmeuse
A dress fabric made of all silk yarns, and with a satin face and crepe-like back. A hard twisted warp and crepe weft is used. The finished cloth is dull but soft. The name Charmeuse is the registered trade mark of a fabric originated by a French firm, Bianchini, Ferier and Co., bat it has been made common by copying the fabric on a large scale. The Berlin Chamber of Industry and Commerce gives the following opinion: - Charmeuse has been understood commercially for many decades as a woven silk fabric with a lustrous duchess satin-like face and a dull crepe-like back. Originally made from natural silk, this material has been manufactured in the last few years both in part or wholly from rayon. " Tricot-charmeuse " is a knitted fabric, the back of which has an appearance similar to that of Charmeuse. Tricot-charmeuse has been largely used as a rayon hosiery material in Saxony and Thuringia, but such materials have also been called " Charmeuse " for some time past in the factories making Tricot charmeuse. It is considered, therefore, that the term " Charmeuse," without some special designation, has no power of differentiation and cannot be considered for registration as a trade mark. -
113 Chasuble
A portion of ancient ecclesiastical dress common to all the Roman Catholic clergy. At first it was circular with a round opening in the centre through which the head was passed covering nearly all the person, except when lifted up by the arms, and the uppermost vestment of the clergy. In the 11th century the front was much shorter than the back, and terminated in a peak. Another later form was worn by Thomas a Becket. Silk and embroidered cloth of gold are variously used. -
114 Covert Twill Coatings

115 Diagonals
A variety of heavy fustian cloth, used for sporting clothing and other garments where rough wear is wanted. Usually made with a two-fold warp and with a large number of picks. The cords run in a diagonal direction owing to the weave being a bold twill. Qualities about 56 ends per inch of 2/24's warp, 300 to 380 picks of 20's or 22's weft are common. -
116 Double Ends
Two ends drawn through the same dent in the reed and same eye in the heald and weaving as one. Double ends and double picks are common in many matting cloths. Double ends often appear in a cloth where not intended, and this is a weaving fault, and known as "taped ends." -
117 Drab
A thick heavy and strong grey cloth, generally a twill weave. Tinted yarn of a dull brown shade is sometimes used. The term also applies to a 3-shaft drill dyed drab, and used for corset making and pocketing. A common make is 32-in. wide, 80 ends and 60 picks per inch, 16's T., 14's W. -
118 Glen Urquhart Checks
A woollen or worsted cloth, 2 & 2 twill or matt weave. Both warp and weft are coloured, such as 2 dark, 2 light ends, for, say, 24 threads, then 4 dark, 4 light, for another 24 threads. The weft pattern is the same as the warp. The term indicates a style of design rather than a quality and numerous makes are common both in worsteds and woollens.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Glen Urquhart Checks

119 Jacquard Machine
The jacquard machine is an essential addition to looms intended for weaving ornamental designs that are beyond the scope of stave -work. The machine is made in many forms and sizes for different branches of the weaving industry, but its characteristic feature is that it furnishes the means whereby every individual thread in a design may weave differently from all the others. This permits the delineation of all forms and shapes and the fineness of the detail is only limited by the texture, e.g., the number of ends and picks per inch. The action of the jacquard machine is communicated to the warp threads through a system of cords known variously as the harness mounting and jacquard harness. Actually, loom harness ante-dated the jacquard machine by many centuries, and many draw loom harnesses were much more complicated than modern jacquard harnesses. An essential feature of a jacquard is that each hook in the machine can be lifted at will independently of the others. The selection of which hooks shall lift and which shall be left down is made by the designer, by painting marks on squared paper to indicate the hooks that must be lifted on each pick. In cutting the pattern cards, a hole is cut for every mark or filled square on the design paper, and a blank is left for every empty square on the paper. Assuming that each pattern card represents one pick of weft, when the card is pressed against the needles of the jacquard, the blanks push the unwanted needles and hooks out of the path of the lifting griffe; the holes allow the needles to pass through and thus remain stationary, so that the corresponding hooks remain in the path of the lifting griffe and cause the corresponding warp threads to be lifted. Jacquard: Single-lift, single-cylinder - In this machine there is only one griffe which lifts on every pick, and only one pattern cylinder, which strikes every pick. This restricts the speed at which the loom can be operated. Jacquard: Double-lift, single-cylinder - This is the machine in most common use for ordinary jacquard work. There are two lifting griffes and twice as many hooks as in a single-lift machine, but only the same number of needles and one card cylinder. The shed formed is of the semi-open type, which causes less movement of the warp threads, as any threads which require to be up for two or more picks in succession are arrested in their fall and taken up again. Double-lift jacquards give a greatly increased loom production as compared with single-lift machines, as they permit the speed of the loom to be increased to about 180 picks per minute for narrow looms, as compared with 120 to 140 picks per minute for single-lift jacquards. Jacquard: Double-lift, double-cylinder - In this machine there are two sets of hooks and needles, two lifting griffes and two card cylinders, odd picks in one set of cards and even picks in the other set. This permits maximum loom speed, it prolongs the life of the pattern cards, but is open to the serious drawback that spoiled cloth is caused whenever the two card cylinders get out of correct rotation. Jacquard: Cross Border - Fabrics with borders, such as tablecloths, bed quilts, etc., are woven with jacquards with two griffes, two sets of hooks and two card cylinders. The cards for weaving the border are laced together and weave on one cylinder, while the centre cards are on the other cylinder. The loom weaves at the speed of a single-cylinder, single-lift machine, and the change from the border to the centre cards can be made by hand or automatically -
