ABSTRACT
Our recommendation is that each patient sort the textile items in his/her suspect pile or list by whether the item is made from a onefi ber content fabric, using two classes of fi ber in the fabric, or made with two or more fabrics, each fabric in the item having a different fi ber composition. Examples of items in the latter group would be lined garments, such as coats, suit, and outerwear jackets, tailored dresses, and slacks because the lining “inner fabric” usually has a different fi ber composition than the “shell” or outer fabric.
