Silesia (cloth)
Silesia (Sleazy, Slesia) was a thin twilled woven cloth made of linen[1] or cotton.[2] The term denoted a wide range of fabric grades from greige goods to dyed and finished cloth. Silesia was used for various linens, for lining clothes, and in window blinds.[1] Cotton Silesia was calendered to obtain a gloss finish.[2]
