Broad cloth

Japanese: ブロード・クロス(英語表記)broad cloth
Broad cloth
A type of woolen fabric. It is also called broadcloth for short. It is made by loosely weaving worsted or woolen yarn in the warp and woolen yarn in the weft, and then shrinking the fabric after weaving to make it dense and giving it a raised surface, giving it a smooth texture and a glossy finish. It is used for coats, sportswear, jackets, etc. It is called broadcloth because it is shrunk considerably during the finishing process, making the woven width wider. Therefore, all woolen fabrics that are shrunken and raised, as well as fabrics known by names such as melton, velour, beaver, and mossa, are now called broadcloth.

Japanese:
毛織物の一種。略してブロードともいう。経(たて)に梳毛糸(そもうし)または紡毛糸,緯(よこ)に紡毛糸をあまく打ち込み,製織後縮絨(しゆくじゆう)仕上げをして緻密にし,表面に起毛加工を施したもので,手ざわりがよく光沢に富む。コート,スポーツウェア,ジャケットなどに用いられる。仕上げの際,相当収縮させるため織上げ幅を広くするのでこの名がある。したがって現在では,縮絨起毛を施すタイプの毛織物,メルトン,ベロア,ビーバー,モッサなどの名称で知られる種類の織物はすべてブロード・クロスと呼ばれている。
