Kora / loomstate

Kora and loomstate are other names for greige fabric: woven cloth as it comes off the loom, before any bleaching, dyeing or finishing. Kora is the term common in the Indian trade; loomstate is common in the UK and Commonwealth trade.

All of these — kora, loomstate, greige, grey, RFD-base — refer to the same unprocessed cloth. The choice of word usually signals which market a buyer or seller trades in, not a difference in the product.
