Serge
Serge is a twill weave cloth with diagonal lines on both sides. The worsted woollen variety was used in Britain for military uniforms, right until the second half of the 20th century; silk serge was used for linings. Sturdy, but itchy, and absorbing huge amounts of water, which made it difficult to dry out.
