shirting

Then the shirting is extreme and there is a lilac smell and no ginger.

A number of fine pictures hung on the walls, and richly bound books lay on the shirting tables amid pieces of rare bric-à-brac.

Shirting, which has long since ceased to refer exclusively to shirt cloths, includes a large proportion of Lancashire manufacture.

In weight it is lighter than a shirting, and it is usually ornamented with a distinctive coloured heading.
