3. In a book I have about the Throckmortons (but I'm at the office, not at home, of course), a gentleman's letter to his factor requests a certain amount of tawney fabric for a shirt. Whether we are to take "tawney" as a color or as a type of fabric, I don't know. ****************** Tawny being usually a light color, and in the orange/sandy/cream range [and the orange part seems to be a later definition] he could just mean an off-white shirt rather than white-white, or perhaps an unbleached raw linen. **************Start the year off right.
