I have a brand-new, with tags, never-worn, camel-colored Corneliani overcoat (topcoat?) that I'm planning on selling on the buy & sell forum. However, there are a couple of things on the label that I'm not sure about and would appreciate any help you could provide in translating them.
1. Size: Given as 50 6 R. I get the 50--about equivalent to a US/UK 40. But what is the meaning of the 6 R?
2. Fabric Content: listed as "schurwolle 60 Angora 30 Kashgora 10". That's for the main fabric. For the liner, it lists Viskose 100. I have interpreted this to mean Virgin wool 60%, Angora 30%, and Kashgora 10%. I'm unsure what Kashgora translates to--anyone know? And I'm assuming that the Angora is from Angora rabbits., but correct me if this is incorrect, as I've seen Angora occasionally used for goat hair. It is a beautifully-soft fabric.
Anyone here able to translate this for me?
