Dungaree (fabric)
Dungaree fabric (used in English since 1605–15, from the Hindi ''dungrī'') is a kind of coarse thick 2/2 twill-weave cotton cloth, often coloured blue. The word is possibly derived from Dongri, a dockside village near Mumbai.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/dungaree )〕 In US English the term is used for hard-wearing work trousers made from such fabric, and in British English for bib overalls in various fabrics, either for casual or work use.〔 By 1891 Kipling was using the word to refer to a kind of garment (in the plural)〔1891, R. Kipling, poem, ''The City of Dreadful Night'' "He's got his dungarees on."〕 as well as a fabric.〔R. Kipling, ''The Bridge Builders'', "Peroo was standing on the topmost coping of the tower, clad in the blue dungaree of his abandoned service ...".〕 As a fabric, it is used largely the same way as jeans cloth, to make sturdy trousers. In many non-Anglophone countries, the two words are interchangeable (British vs. US English).
==Dungaree vs. denim==
Dungaree is often compared to denim, but the two fabrics are coloured in different ways, dungaree traditionally being woven from pre-coloured yarn, while denim was made from uncoloured yarn and only coloured after weaving.〔 Typically only the warp threads are pre-dyed with the traditional colouring agent indigo, the weft threads are left uncoloured (white), resulting in the typical medium blue colour of the fabric. Otherwise the two fabrics are identical, and dungaree is sometimes termed "blue denim".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dungaree )〕
