Sharkskin - Sharkskin (English spelling)

There are two types of fabric called sharkskin. One is a worsted fabric with different colored threads arranged alternately in a 2/2 twill weave that gives it an appearance similar to sharkskin, and the other is a relatively thick rayon fabric with a flat or twill weave that uses multi-dull rayon threads for the warp and weft. The former is used for suits and spring coats, while the latter is mainly used for women's summer wear.
