silk lining

Jacket's smooth inside

Silk lining is fabric made of silk used to cover the inside of garments, bags, or cases.

Silk linings appear in high-end coats, jackets, and suit jackets, adding smoothness against the body and a touch of luxury: The jacket had a silk lining in a deep burgundy.

The phrase evokes quality and refinement—the hidden interior matching or exceeding the visible exterior.
