in commerce, a kind of cotton stuff, which seems as it were walled on one side.

Right fustians should be altogether made of cotton-yarn, both woof and warp; but a great many are made, the warp of which is flax, or even hemp.

There are fustians made of several kinds, wide, narrow, fine, coarse, with shag or nap, and without it.

Fustian, is also used for a bombait flye, or a high dwelling swelling kind of writing made up of heterogeneous parts.
