Melton (English spelling)

Japanese: メルトン(英語表記)melton
Melton (English spelling)
A type of woolen fabric. It is woven in a plain or twill weave using soft, thick woolen yarn for the warp and weft, then shrunk and the nap on the surface of the fabric is cut short and brushed (melton processing). The surface looks like it is covered with nap. The fulling effect increases the fabric's thickness, elasticity, and heat retention. It is dyed in plain black or striped or marbled patterns and is used for cold weather clothing such as overcoats, cloaks, women's and children's clothing, and uniforms. Worsted melton is also used when worsted yarn is used and the melton finish is applied.
