A short dictionary entry on hair-cloth. It covers the historical use of goat's hair cloth by the Romans, Hebrews and Arabs, and the origin of the words sack and sagum. It also outlines manufacture: horse-hair sourced from South America, sorting, hackling, curling, and weaving with the hair as weft on a cotton or linen warp, then pressing the cloth with hot plates.
