What kind of fabric would a nice coat for men be made out of?

Yeah, this is a stupid question, I know, but I'm writing a poem, and I have this line about a coat:

"A --- coat of scorn." I need a two-syllable word for a fabric that describes a fancy coat, preferably an old-fashioned one (the character in question wears a bow tie and carries a silver cane). I had "winter" before, but that doesn't mean anything special; it was just a place-holder. Any suggestions
