of my invention for "AN IMPROVED TEXTILE FABRIO" to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved fabric, which is essentially characterized by
the application of strong combed unprepared wools, especially those which are
known by the names of "Volo" and "Black Corses," By strong wool I mean more
especially strong, coarse and long wools.
According to iny invention the above-named wools are woven and the fabric thus

men's-clothes, without being subjected to any fulling, dressing or dyeing.
The colours of the wools employed may be varied as long as they preserve the
natural aspect which they have after being spun.
.
By this new application of spun wools I obtain fabrics which are cheap because
they have not been subjected to the ordinary operations of dressing dyeing or
fulling; which are stronger than heretofore, because the fibres have not been.
subjected to any chemical action; and which possess an appearance which cannot
be obtained in fulled fabrics, the fulling invariably causing a certain felting of
the fabric.
The improved fabric can be applied to furniture and in fact generally for any
purposes for which dressed fabrics are ordinarily employed,
HASELTINE, LAKE & Co.,
For the Applicant,

page_text: I, WILLIAM ROBERT LAKE, of the firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co, Patent Agents,
Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex do hereby declare the
nature of my invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to an improved fabric which is essentially characterized by
the application of strong combed unprepared wools, especially such as those which
are known by the names of "Volo" and "Black Corses." By strong wools I mean
more especially strong coarse and long wools.
According to my invention the above named wools are woven and the fabric
thus obtained is directly applied to the making of clothes of any kind and especially
men's clothes, without being subjected to any fulling, dressing or dyeing.
The colours of the wools employed may be varied as long as they preserve the
natural aspect which they have after being spun.
By this new application of spun wools, I obtain fabrics which are cheap because
they have not been subjected to the ordinary operations of dressing, dyeing or
fulling which are stronger than heretofore, because the fibres have not been
subjected to any chemical action, and which possess an appearance that cannot
be obtained in fulled fabrics, the fulling invariably causing a certain felting of
the fabric.
The improved fabric can be applied to furniture and in fact generally for any
purposes for which dressed fabrics are ordinarily employed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
:-
A fabric obtained by weaving coarse and long wools which have not been
previously subjected to fulling, dyeing, or similar treatment, and constituting a new
product preserving the aspect of wools, such as they have on leaving the spinning
mill or machine.
