Crash (fabric)

Crash is a coarse fabric with a rough, irregular surface, made from thick, uneven yarns.

Crash fabric is coarse linen-based rugged material made from both dyed and raw yarns.

Crash fabric was very thick, strong, rough and because of linen's characteristics it is absorbent also.

Crash was used for towel, draperies and other decorative cloths, dresses, caps, skirts, suits and sport coats.

Russian crash was popular for its artistic (uneven) appearance and extraordinarily absorbent properties.
