What is Barathea Fabric?
- Barathea fabric is a high-end English fabric that is intricately woven and has a broken rib pattern and a minor diagonal weaving look.
- Its surface seems grainy along with being smooth to touch.
- Used mostly for suits and uniforms, but also suitable for formalwear for males.

History
- The origin of this enduring weave may be traced back to 14th century in England,
- Barathea, like a satin weave, has a delicate texture and a somewhat pebbled look and matte finish.

- Barathea were produced only in black, brown, and blue shades due to yarn used in manufacturing being in limited colours.
