Le motif reliéfé [du] tissu vient de ce qu'on appelle la «trame de remplissage» cousue dans la matière. Le tissu prend ainsi une apparence rembourrée et matelassée.

OBS

piqué : Au Canada français, on utilise souvent l’adjectif «piqué» au lieu de «matelassé» à cause de l’emploi traditionnellement répandu des expressions «courtepointe piquée» et «piquer une courtepointe», qui ont précédé le terme «matelassé».

Un blouson, manteau, pantalon matelassé.
