A stiff, corded fabric made from silk or wool, used historically for clothing and vestments.
From French 'armoisin', possibly from Italian or Persian origins. The fabric was popular in medieval and Renaissance Europe for formal garments.
Armozeen shows up in historical records describing bishops' robes and formal wear—it's so stiff and structured that it probably made people move very carefully, which might be why fancy clothing historically signals 'I don't do physical labor.'
