Dacron

In London, Suitor was outfitted in a gray suit matching Connery’s in the film, but made of a special flame-resistant Dacron.

The artist’s drawings are charming, but upstaged by two large, detailed 3-D models of ferns, made from Dacron, wire and paint.

The ferns are made mainly from Dacron, the material used for sail cloth, and copper wires.

We hear of Dacron and velour, Woodsy Owl and the "ecology," Waldorf salad and farmworker strikes.

A marvel of human engineering, the suit is made of 21 layers of various plastics: nylon, neoprene, Mylar, Dacron, Kapton and Teflon.
