calicos
Mottled cotton fabrics
Calicos is the plural of calico—a cotton fabric printed with a colorful pattern, or a cat with a patchy coat of white, orange, and black.
The fabric sense dominates in British English, while Americans more often encounter the word describing cats: We had two calicos and a tabby.
