Butcher's linen
A strong heavy linen cloth, primarily used for butchers' aprons
Butcher's linen (Butcher linen) was a strong heavy linen cloth. It was a strong and durable fabric used primarily for butchers' aprons.[1][2]
Weave
It was a plain weave fabric made with coarse linen yarns.[1] The fabric was rough, stiff and heavy. Linen was mostly used for Butcher's Linen due to its simple washability, but cotton was also used in some cases.[3][4]
Use
Butcher's linen was initially used for aprons of waitresses and butchers[4] jackets,[5] and later used as a dress material and backing for starched shirt fronts.[1]
