Twill: The term twill designates both a textile weave characterised by diagonal structural designs and the cloth made from that weave. The weave may be varied to produce broken or intertwining effects. Twill fabrics are usually firm and are used especially in suits and in sport and work clothes. Twill-weave fabrics are also used for linings, pockets, and mattress ticking. Serge, gabardine, and cheviot are major types of twill. 1, record 1, English, - twill

Croisé 1) Armure : elle donne un effet de côtes obliques inclinées d'une lisière à l'autre, côtes et intervalles étant de largeur égale. Contrairement à l'armure sergé qui donne un aspect différent de chaque côté du tissu, dans l'armure croisé les deux côtés sont identiques. 2) Tissu : par extension, le tissu réalisé dans cette armure. Dans la production des croisés, les croisés de coton représentent une part prépondérante mais on réalise des croisés de laine, des croisés légers en soie et en textiles chimiques. 3, record 1, French, - crois%C3%A9
