Description
A strong, durable Cotton fabric with a left hand twill weave. Galatea is made either in plain colors or even-sized stripes (often blue and white). It was named after the 19th century English man-of-war H.M.S. Galatea and the fabric was once popular for children's sailor suits and nurses' uniforms.
