coarse cloth
Scratchy woven material
Coarse cloth is fabric with a rough texture, loosely woven from thick or unrefined fibers.
The term describes utilitarian materials like burlap, canvas, or homespun rather than fine textiles: peasants dressed in coarse cloth, sacks made of coarse cloth.
The phrase often suggests humble circumstances or lack of refinement.
