Definition
The same yam-tuber soaks, with fewer mud passes, so the cloth keeps a brown rather than going black. Sold as the inside of a garment: it faces the skin, not the street, so the surface claims are about hand-feel and slip, not colour depth.
A garment lined in this closes differently: no static lift, no cold slip at the shoulder. That is the whole pitch, and it is measurable by hand.
Why not a synthetic lining
Static and moisture. A dry silk face with a polyester back will lift and hold sweat against the skin in humid climates; this keeps both sides of the seam hygroscopic. It costs more per metre and it ages better in the parts nobody photographs.
Colour limits, said plainly
Because this weight carries less tannin, its brown fades more visibly than a bolt-black cloth under strong sun. If the garment will be photographed under lights or worn in bright sun often, use the heavier black for the outer shell and keep this inside.

Do you ship lining and shell fabric in one lot?
Yes, if you ask for it on the same order line: same soaking day, one lot number covering both. Otherwise they are dyed on different days and can read a shade apart.
