A fine hair known to the American consumer chiefly in the form of high-quality coat fabrics. This texfile fiber is obtained from the two-humped Bactrian camel. Camel's-hair fabrics are ideal for comfort, particularly when used for overcoating, as they are especially warm and light in weight. Camel's hair is characterized by strength, luster, and smoothness. The best quality is expensive. It is often mixed with wool to improve the quality of the wool fabric. The price of such a mixed cloth is much less than that of a 100% camel's-hair fabric. See also Camel; Natural fiber; Wool.
