Answer:

Linen, polyester, velvet now talking about brand names for cloth you may not believe but the biggest luxury retail brands of europe america buy cloth from indian sri lanka bangladeshi companies you may have not even heard of thats a big reason they make profits in millions
There are very few brands of cloth, most can be found at your local fabric store. There are two qualifications in type of cloth 1: Material (I.E. Silk, Cotton, Wool, Rayon, linen, polyester) 2: Weave (I.E. Velvet, Twill, jersey, broad cloth, brocade, gooseye, plain weave, satin) Material specifies what the cloth has been woven from, for example cotton cloth is made from cotton plant fibers, silk is the cocoons of the silk worm, wool comes from sheep, etc. Material can change the quality of the resulting fabric greatly including texture, weight, stretch, softness, and strength. Most natural fibers (ones that come from plants or animals) do not have inherent stretch, so if one wants a stretchy garment made out of one it would have to be knitted. Weave is the pattern in which the fibers of the cloth are woven together, different weave structures have different properties, including pattern or textural differences, stretch, strength, weight, luster and flexibility Materials may be mixed in a single piece of material, so you could have say. a cotton silk blend satin, or a cotton linen blend twill.
wool, canvas, polyester, acrylic, nylon, linen, leather, burlap, corduroy, denim, satin, faux fur, flannel, fleece, terry cloth, velvet and a lot of others.
