NOTE :
The color name nankeen is a trade name in the field of clothing and dyeing, of which there are two interpretations. One refers to the light yellow or beige, between apricot and buff, of the tight cotton fabric called nankin, originally made in the city of Nanking, then in India and other places in the world; the other designates a particular bright yellow, a probable reference to the imperial color of China. This fabric was introduced in Europe, made in Italy in Bologna and Florence, then in France in Lyon from the 16th century, Tours, Avignon, Paris and Montpellier, for chair and furniture linings. This fabric was used mainly because of its strength in men's clothing for summer outfits at the beginning of the 19th century (trousers, vest, jacket).
In the French army, an order of the day of 30 Germinal Year
In order to protect French trade, a decree dated February 22, 1806 prohibited the importation of white cotton fabrics among others. Woolen cottons are subject to a tax upon entry into the territory of the empire.
