    3. From my dictionary: 1. Kine - archaic plural of cow. 2. drugget - coarese woven fabic for floor coverings, etc. usually of jute and cotton. 3. fustian - thick twilled cotton cloth with short nap, resembling velveteen, usually died in dark dull colours.

Could anyone give a modern description of these please. Tim in Sussex
