slightly rubbed or "worn" fabrics Explanation: angestossene Qualitäte refers to goods with slightly damaged packaging, where the contents are still ok. In fabrics these would be (also articially) "worn" items, including stone washed jeans or rubbed corduroy -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-11-15 14:30:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- the reference seems to be almost identical to your quote in content -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-11-15 16:25:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sorry artificially (typo) Reference: http://www.reischmann.biz/men/index.php?navanchor=1010025 |

'roughed up' quality fabrics Explanation: I'm not absolutely sure but this is the first idea that occurred to me. 'Roughed up' fabrics are soft, so it could apply to flannel and saxony wool. |
