poplin
Lightweight corded textile
Poplin is a sturdy fabric with a finely ribbed texture, made by weaving a heavier weft thread through a finer warp.
Originally silk, modern poplin is typically cotton or a cotton blend.
The fabric is smooth, slightly lustrous, and commonly used for dress shirts, blouses, and lightweight jackets: a crisp white poplin shirt.
