  1. Rithwik says:

    They were all named after places!

    The cotton cloth called Muslin was named after the city of Mosul, Iraq, where it was made.

    The word Denim comes from the French expression de Nimes, “from Nimes”, because the fabric was once made in that French city.

    Calico comes from Calicut, a city in India where the fabric was first obtained.

    The soft tanned leather known as suede got its name from the French name for Sweden, Suede, because Swedish gloves were made from suede.

    Cashmere is named after the region of India called Kashmir, because it is made from the wool of goats that live in Kashmir.

    Good question :-)
