Two suits were offered under the heading "Part Worsted for Outer Surface, Soft Cotton Next to the Skin". These suits thus had variable fabric on the outer and inner sides. They were branded Twin-Fabric. "Twin-Fabric" referring to the use of cotton on the inside next to the skin and wool outside for additional warmth. This seems to be a realatively new feature. We are not sure just when it first appeared.
