Beautifully nubby boucle fabric feels like silk or a silky wool. The fabric is 5 feet wide by 5 1/2 feet long, not enough for a 2-piece suit, but probably enough to make a posh vest or blazer with a nice contrasting lining.

Vintage fabric is in perfect condition. It’s been stored in a dry, smoke free environment since the 1970s.

Note: I’m not an expert, but the burn test suggests to me that the fibers are natural, given the burnt hair smell and the failure of the swatch to stay lit.
