What is Hessian?

Might come from Germany. However it’s the same as burlap.

It’s made of fibres from jute plants.

Assuming you’re not talking about the German mercenaries used against the US in the Revolution…. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hessian_%28cloth%29

Here’s my favorite Hessian.

@auhsojsa, thanks for the name, why the U.S. can’t use the same fabric names as everywhere else, I don’t know.
@Lightlyseared, thanks for the fibres.
@tedd, thanks for the link.
@Blondesjon, funny, lol. Who is that? And really, was that the Hessian uniform? I don’t think so.

@DaphneT . . . Cristopher Walken. He played “The Hessian” in Sleepy Hollow.
