    18th c. Hose and weaves.

    Still trying to figure out the weaves for various wool garments. Just wondering if herringbone or diamond weaving is correct for 18th c. Scotland and what is used for hose?

    Would this be considered 'suiting" "broadcloth" "baise" "duffil" or something else?

    And is it suitable for period hose or other garments such as a weskit or jacket?
