nchistory Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted March 26, 2019 Is this twill front, wool backing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne-Hunter Posted March 26, 2019 Share #6 Posted March 26, 2019 The base material should be a silk not twill. It does look a bit like twill from the photo, but I think the photo is causing that. The backing is silk. The embroidery is silk. Stereotypical Japanese work. Silk embroidery on wool would be more characteristic of Korean work.
