German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Textiles / Clothing / Fashion / fabric | | German term or phrase: Elastodien | | Does anyone know the English for this fabric or class of fabrics? I'm afraid it just appears in a list of fabrics used by a clothing manufacturer so there is no more context to offer you and although I find some hits for the word in a web search, most of the entries appear to have been translated and not original English texts. Help! |
