Best Answer

Natural cotton - quite coarse, shrinks like anything, unwashed can smell rank as it still has bits of vegetation in it. Cheap as chips and named after the 19th century capital India under the Brits, Calcutta, as it was then - now Kolkata. Used for some utilitarian clothing or household item - often used under loose covers on furnishing or as templates for making up in more expensive materials.
