A thin worsted fabric with a plain weave and clear finish. It is also called Palm Beach. Palm Beach is a trademark name taken from the name of a beach in the United States, but it is now known worldwide as a worsted fabric suitable for hot weather. The fabric has a smooth feel, is breathable, and has a little tension. Types include marbled tropical and heather tropical, and recently synthetic fibers have also appeared. It is mainly used for summer clothing, such as suits.
