notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Length of Cheney Brothers Silk "Whipcord Suiting", 1913. Medium weight. Silk. Yarn dyed. Narrow white satin weave stripes on a dark blue corded (warp direction ribs) ground. (W. 32 in., L. 1-1/2 yd.) The sample was folded along several vertical creases, accelerating significant shattering along these lines. The shattering suggests this was not a pure-dye but a weighted silk. Cheney Silks retail label attached to sample with glue or adhesive.
