camelhair

Luxury coat fiber

Camelhair is soft, fine fabric woven from the undercoat of camels, prized for its warmth and natural tan color.

The word typically describes coats and blazers in this distinctive yellowish-brown shade: a classic camelhair sport coat.

Camelhair brushes, used in painting and calligraphy, were traditionally made from camel hair but now often use squirrel or other fine fibers.

Also spelled camel hair or camel's hair.
