WHAT PONGEE REALLY Is.
Lightweight Material Is Made on
HIND Looms in China.

Pongee means plain weave.
1t comes in natural color and the warp
and wool are interviewer without bitches or
huntches or cords. A good deal of the pom
gee has an appearance of roughly corded
threads. but they are woven plainly.
If you want to buy the genuine pongee
ask for Shantung. This is the real thing
made on hand looms in China. The thread
Is round and smooth.
If you want a little more roughness in
the threads. ask for tussore. The thread
has little ends sticking up here and there
that give the fabric a pretty roughness. All
shades in the tussore are shown this sea-
son, including the white, which is quite
new feature in the weave of this material.
