1 Irish Frieze
A heavy felted fabric made in Ireland from very ancient time. It is absolutely impervious to rain and has remarkable durability, and has been used for making the Cotha More (overcoat) for centuries. Wool of the longest and strongest staple is used, which is first dyed, then spun and doubled. After weaving, the fabric is put through the " tucking " process - this is a prolonged washing in a carefully prepared solution, slowly heated up to boiling point and then as slowly cooled again. This felts the fabric to such an extent that it is impossible after cutting the cloth to separate one thread from another. Many imitations made with shoddy and waste yarns are on the market. -

6 Frieze
A heavy woollen fabric with a rough, irregular nap, and a more or less hard feel. Originally an Irish production; generally grey in colour, and used for the lower-grade clothing. Also made from a mixture of wool and shoddy or mungo. Woven 2 & 2 twill with about 40 ends and 60 picks per inch, 20's skein Yorkshire woollen warp and weft. The weave is sometimes the broken 2 & 2 twill. Frieze was first mentioned in 1399 as a coarse woollen cloth and made in Coventry. It was much used by the people in the 16th century for doublets, jerkins and gowns. -

8 Tucking
Felting process by which Irish frieze is prepared. The fabric is treated to a prolonged washing or sousing in a carefully prepared solution, slowly heated up to boiling point, and then as slowly cooled again. This process shrinks and thickens the cloth to such an extent that it is almost impossible to separate one thread from another. -
9 Falding
A coarse cloth of the frieze type. Chaucers' Shipman, in the Canterbury Tales, is described as dressed " all in a gown of falding to the knee." It was used for covering furniture in the 14th century, and Mr. Fairholt suggests that a coarse red woollen cloth of home manufacture and dye, still worn by the Irish peasant women for jackets and petticoats may be probably identical with the ancient " faldyng."
