falso liso

Yes, it looks like "false plain" is the best term. Thanks.

There's a reference to fake plains or false woven styles which are different weaving patterns for plain coloured suit wear or shirts with collars which were created in Oxford for the first time with blue woven textile in a faint horizontal and vertical threaded style of fabric creation. Cotton fabrics are used to make smart casual wear, firstly for men in striped or diagonal woven styles of material for clothes.

Thanks Anyway, the question has been satisfactorily answered before in my opinion. If you agree, Alison, perhaps you could close it.

I think "faux" sounds a bit better than "false", but maybe that's just me.

False plain explained online I believe it just refers to a non-solid color that reads as a solid. For example, boucles or tweeds that are brown and white (or black and white, etc) can "read" solid brown at a distance.

The only previous question I can find says "false plain".
