neutral  FX Fraipont (X): that's "mercerised cotton" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercerised_cotton // Et ce n'est pas la même chose - "polished cotton" = le tissu est calandré.

  -> oui, et?

agree  GILLES MEUNIER

agree  mchd

  -> Merci!

disagree  emiledgar: mercerized cotton is not polished cotton - different process - mercerized cotton is treated with an alkali to make it stronger, more lustrous and more receptive to dyes; polished cotton is treated to be shiny. Dictionaries, Wikipedia.
