On the subject of capes I don't know how many variations there are but can
I suggest that we add the word 'Rigid' to all those capes that hold their
form when lightly pinched at one end and then add the word 'Soft' to
all those capes that flop down under the same test
This would at least give people a rough idea of the style of cape with just a
quick glance

The correct terms to describe these fabrics would be Woven and Knit. (basically
the difference between a dress shirt and a T-shirt) However, not everyone understands
fabric construction. 
As we already use Starched and Spongy, I just don't think adding even more
subjective terms would be very helpful.

Well isn't 'Starched' just a further fabric construction that most
people don't understand? I certainly did'nt until I just keyed it into
google. At least everyone will understand the basic principal of a firm, stiff
or rigid cape compared to one that is not hence my suggestion to include it
|
Well, maybe my age is showing but I would think Starched is a very common term?
Also, as these capes age, they lose the rigidity and that could create some confusion
with the term. Of course, it's the starch wearing off that causes this. So,
now we are back to Woven and Knit.
I could create a simple image to add to the additional images that could cleary
show the differences in fabric type for lay people.
Where is John P when you need him in this conversation??
