Moleskin and Corduroy are rugged cotton fabrics long used in outdoor wear, as trousers, jackets, vests and shirts... a few mills to maintain production of high quality cotton moleskin fabrics. Moleskin and corduroy are both fustian fabrics, woven with a twilled weave to form a thick dense cloth, and having a cut nap on one side. With the moleskin, the fabric is brushed to form the nap... The nap or pile is then sheared to form a uniform surface. The best quality fabrics are very tightly woven from fine threads of long staple cotton... Moleskin, with a brushed nap, is softer than corduroy, and, with uniform thickness, is somewhat more wind resistant... Both [fabrics] however are rugged long lasting materials providing great comfort and good protection from wind chill. 2, record 10, English, - moleskin%20fabric

The ceinture fléchée, or arrowhead sash, was one of the famous badges of the voyageur. The ceinture fléchée had many uses. It was used for warmth, as a tump line and a support on the portage, as an emergency rope, and as a mark of distinction and origin. When tightly woven and treated with beeswax, it could even be used as a cup. Originally, ceintures fléchées were woven by hand using a technique called "finger weaving". Later, sashes, were machine loomed in England for the Canadian mass market. The term "fléchée" refers specifically to the original arrowhead design, but there were many other patterns. The chevron, the "flammes"(flames), the "éclairs"(ligtening bolts), the "W"(double chevron), and the "tête de flèche"(large two-tone arrowhead) were also used. Colors and patterns were distinctive of various regions. Probably the most famous of all sashes were those from the Assomption area of Lower Canada, which had multiple multi-colored lightning-bolts(éclairs) flanking a central red core. 1, record 22, English, - arrowhead%20sash

The technique [of hair weaving] involves taking a small hairpiece-a very fine net with false hair attached to it, placing the net against the scalp, and weaving together the false hair with what real, natural hair remains growing on the man's scalp. It is much like weaving a basket. And it is woven very, very tightly, and as close as possible to the scalp. 2, record 24, English, - hair%20weaving
