I was under the impression that cloth of gold was a fabric created from the "beards" of certain bivalves. I know that it was said to be so fine that a dress of cloth-of-gold could be drawn through a ring - that doesn't seem like it would be likely with actual gold involved. I don't doubt the current explanation, but is it the only one?Graidan (talk)07:30, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If I'm wrong, then at the very least, this common error should be addressed.—Precedingunsigned comment added by205.240.12.103 (talk)07:24, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I recommend thatcloth of silver be merged here. -PKM02:23, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What is "gold filé"? I cannot find this referred to anywhere. I only know the term "filé" as the sasafrass thickener used in Gumbo. -Arch dude (talk)02:47, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The mention of "marramas" is dubious. Supposedly it's a cloth from 14th-century China, but the cited source only calls it "oriental". A google search only seems to bring up similarly-worded definitions of "marramas" or "mattabas" which are probably derived from this article. I'm tempted to remove this entirely unless something more reliable is found. —ʀoyoтϵ20:45, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
