Could it be similar to sharkskin? Sharon -----Original Message----- From: h-costume-boun...@indra.com [mailto:h-costume-boun...@indra.com] On Behalf Of Ruth Anne Baumgartner Sent: Sunday, October 30, 2011 8:24 AM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] somewhat OT fabric question
Hello the list: I'm directing a production of Conor McPherson's The Seafarer, and one of the characters claims to be wearing a Versace jacket made of "dogskin." He clarifies that it's a kind of fabric, and another character feels the sleeve and remarks on its softness. I'm sure McPherson doesn't mean houndstooth, although I did find a picture of a Versace tuxedo-style jacket supposedly in houndstooth but looking distinctly solid-black to me. Certainly the Broadway production, which McPherson directed, didn't have a character in a houndstooth-check jacket. Can't find an answer on the Internet. Does anyone know of a fabric with this name? Thank you for any help! --Ruth Anne Baumgartner scholar gypsy and amateur costumer _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
