satin lining

Smooth jacket inside

Satin lining is the smooth, lustrous fabric layer inside a garment or accessory—most often coats, jackets, or hats.

The slippery surface helps clothing slide on easily and adds a touch of luxury: The jacket had a deep burgundy satin lining.

Satin linings also reduce friction against hair, which is why bonnets and pillowcases marketed for hair care often feature them.
