Question Author
Thanks. I thought of tactile but couldn’t understand the tile reference to old hat. Now I know :)
I was going for EARTHY (=material) too. If "wearing" indicates "act" placed in "tile", how does "tactile" equate with "material"?
I must be missing something.
Vesalius, if earthy then how does the rest of your answer parse ?
material is give as synonym for tactile in thesasurus.com
Thanks aelmpvw. I didn't think of that.
I considered earthy as a sort of mixture of "hat" and "early' but clearly that does not work.
