Off White Lightweight Shalloon-Remnants- $18.00 yd.

Off White Lightweight Shalloon

Described by Montgomery as a “cheap twilled worsted” shalloons, such as this Off White Lightweight Shalloon, were twilled on both sides with the threads visible. They could be hot pressed (glazed) or not. Advertisements showed broadcloths of various colors with shalloons to match. Surviving menswear often has shalloon as the lining material. We have come across shalloons in our research with the Foundling Hospital textile tokens, surmising that these cheap stuffs found their way into clothing of what was referred to as the lower sorts of the time.
