From July 1, 1660.
This morning came home my fine camlott cloak with gold buttons - and a silk suit; which cost me much money and I pray God to make me able to pay for it.
From Wikipedia:
Camlet, also commonly known as camlot, camblet, or chamlet, is a woven fabric that might have originally been made of camel or goat's hair, later chiefly of goat's hair and silk, or of wool and cotton. The original form of this cloth was very valuable; the term later came to be applied to imitations of the original eastern fabric.
