obsessing over certain traits of clothes

[PinkPantser]

The one-word traits of clothing that you can't resist. It could be the ugliest piece of clothing you've ever seen but if it satisfies one of these you'll pick up and give a once over. Mine:

suede
seersucker
heathered

yours?

I'm not quite sure I could think of anything that would really qualify that 100% of the time but...

Nordic [print].
Cross-weave knit.
Techno-fabric.

shell cordovan, waxed cotton, and nice denim (though I'm not nearly into denim as much as some people here). But more importantly, if the item does not fit well then who care what the fabric is.

What inspired the thread was thinking about shopping at a place with a lot of stock (like a retail outlet or a big store like barneys) where my eye is always drawn to the same fabrics/textures/colors first. I forgot to mention color so i'd add gray to my list too. If there's a rack of the same shirts in 20 colors i'll pull out the gray one first (boring, I know).
