Cravanette

cra-ve-net', a closely woven, fine twilled, worsted cloth, used largely for men's summer coats and vests. A light weight of fine quality is used for women's suits and dresses. Cravanette, made waterproof by a special process, is used for mackintoshes and raincoats. The uniforms worn by the Salvation Army and the Volunteers of America are made of this waterproof cravanette.
