It looks very much like velvet to me, and velvet slashes nicely, especially
on the bias.

I have a question about the fabric/material used in the Beham "Portrait
of a Man", German/Bavarian, 1529. My original guess was a velvet, but
looking closer at the image, especially the cut-work in the trim and
collar, I have begun wondering if this was a suede of some kind.
