Which points to the term "Russian crash" which I happen to have a link for purchasing, I've bought from these folks a few times [for domestic uses], you might want to take a look at these folks, sir. That is, should you be interested in Russian crash which is heavily slubbed, very inexpensive.
From the ad I take it to mean natural (unbleached and undyed) linen. I have a sport coat made from it (the fabric was cheap). I never knew such fabric had a special name.

Ok.
What color is your sportcoat that's made from natural/unbleached/cheap/undyed/crash linen? Is it brownish like that which is today called "flax"? or is it yellowish like what we today called "natural"?
"crash linen"
ReplyDeleteHm. You gave us the term, but as for the learning, you kinda left us on our own. I even had to get past google's Did You Mean CRUSHED Linen?
Onward, keep looking. Here's Britannica's take:
