tussah

It specializes in neckwear — cashmere, tussah, knitted silk and more — and pocket squares and scarves in extravagant prints, and has expanded in recent years into something approaching a full-service clothing line.

There are others, however, and from some of these tussah silk, Yamamai, and Shantung pongee are woven.

The tussah, or wild silks, remain an écru color.

This is then covered with two layers of tussah silk, laid in reverse wrappings, then there is a heavy cotton braid, and over the latter a linen braid.

Over this is placed one braid of tussah silk and an outer braid of cotton.
