Part of a serial article from Posselt's Textile Journal (February 1917) on the construction of beaver overcoatings and cloakings, heavy woolen fabrics napped by gigging. It covers stock selection, twist and felting, and why a separate back filling is used. It gives standard beaver weaves built on 5- to 8-harness double satins, 4-harness twills and an irregular satin, with backing ratios of 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 and a cotton warp variant. Seven drafts (Figs. 1-7) show face and back picks. Page 2 also carries a short item on cotton consumption and the start of an article on Indian turmeric as a dyestuff.
