Article from Posselt's Textile Journal (December 1917) on covert cloths, the tough fulled wool overcoating fabrics. It covers the history and cheapening of the cloth, union and cross-dyed yarns, and gives loom layouts (warp ends, picks, reed widths, yarn counts) for several covert fabrics built on 5-, 8-, 10- and 15-harness satins, corkscrew weaves and a steep twill. Weave diagrams for five designs are shown. The scan ends with an installment of the serial 'Cotton from Field to Factory' on saw gins, condensers and ginning speeds.
