A very short encyclopedia entry defining "stuff" as a general commercial term for loom-woven fabrics of gold, silver, silk, wool, hair, cotton, or thread, listing velvets, brocades, mohair, satins, taffetas, cloths, and serges as examples. It also notes the narrower use of the word for slight woollen fabrics, such as linseys and rateens, used mainly for linings and women's clothing.
