Schirusz, also known by its tradenames of Thermalsilk or MemoryCloth. Silky synthetic fabric that fashioned into garments shrink or expands (activated by the wearer's body heat) to fit like a second skin on the wearer's body. It's often correctly touted as the next best thing to being naked. So snug that some sophonts wear under- or overgarments for modesty's sake. Schirusz is air-permeable and very comfortable to wear. It's main markets in the Beyond are the Mapepire Cluster (especially Lilith), Eslyat Magistry, & Die Weltbund as well as the Trelyn Domain in the Vanguard Reaches. It is also a popular item for hijacking & resale to planets where the cloth would not normally affordable. Made several concerns in the Imperium.
