Now I have here a piece of pongee silk, cut from a woman's automobile-coat. |
The real Chinese pongee is hand-woven and is made from the silk of wild silkworms. |
It is made with pongee nylon for less creasing of the fabric, it has a hexagon shaft for added durability, and a polished wooden handle. |
She wore an untrimmed felt hat, a tan tailored frock with a contrasting pongee collar and a matching silk ribbon tie. |
She was wearing a gown of Nile green pongee, heavily trimmed with expensive ecru lace. |
The driver was a great tanned giant, pongee colored from his hair to his puttees and boots. |
