Cottonade
Cottonade was a coarse and heavy cotton cloth usually yarn dyed.[1] There were multiple formations available, including plain, twill, and serge. It was a kind of woolen imitation, and the strong variants were used for men's trousers.[2][3][4] Twill structured blue and white striped men's workwear with hickory cloth-like appearance was used.[5] Cottonade was initially used for less expensive men's clothing, it was eventually supplanted by superior materials such as "cassimeres", which became fashionable.[1]
Hickory shirting
Hickory shirting was a similar cloth made with dyed yarn stripes in twill structure. When cottonade was used for trousers, hickory was used for shirts.[6]
