No samples. The book I have is a thick softcover book. Could it be a betzina book we're thinking of?

I know someone has a book out like that.

I would love to make (or buy!!!) a book with definitions and real samples. Anyone know of such a thing? I guess I could go to the fabric store.....

Looks like denim but lighter weight. Originally all cotton, today it may be a synthetic or a blend. Wears and launders well. Uses: shirts, sportswear, and children's clothes.

Off the top of my head, which is a ways off the ground so the air is thin up here...I seem to think that chambrey is a finer quality or smoother denim material? But it would be great to know what it really is for someone that asks.
