Perhaps porpoise skin is like shark skin? Texture finish?

Subject: [h-cost] Questionable color

I am working on a 1916 designers' fashion catalog.  I am not sure if
something is a color or not.  Please read the following ladies' dress
description and let me know if you think porpoise is a color or what.
The color "dove" is not capitalized when used as a color name.  But the
word "Porpoise" is.

DESCRIPTION:
"Dove" colored gabardine, with trimmings of navy blue.  "Porpoise" skin
silk.  Vest and collar of white organdy.  Smoke pearl buttons and
buckle.  Coat of navy blue "Porpoise" skin silk.  Collar and cuffs of
"dove" gabardine.
