"The materials of which the clothes of persons of rank were
composed about this time consisted of velvet, satin, sarcenet, gold
lace, and fur."--See Whitaker's _Craven_, 325. From the well known
lines written on the marriage of Charles Brandon with the Queen
Dowager of France,
To Mary:
Cloth of gold do not despise,
To match thyself to cloth of _frise_.
To Charles:
Cloth of _frise_ be not too bold,
Though, thou art match to cloth of gold.
"we might presume that frieze rarely formed the dress of persons of
rank, but Jamieson in voce (Supplement) quotes from an Inventory
of 1539, 'Ane goone of _freis_ claith of gold.' In the following
century frieze was more generally adopted. Fuller speaks of it as
a coarse kind of cloth, manufactured in Wales, 'then which none
warmer to be worn in winter, and the finest sort thereof very
fashionable and gentile. Prince Henry had a frieze sute out of it,'
&c. He adds, 'It will daily grow more into use, especially since
the gentry of the land, being generally much impoverished, abate
much of their gallantry.' _Worthies_, 553."--M.
