_silk ?

I noticed that there is a underscore in the filtered fabric type, and I am not sure why this is, and what the significance is. Is it a python wild card thing? Is it something that can be used behind like "silk_"?

No Python magic here. The 'material' column in the csv file uses the value '_silk'. The other material types are listed as '_wool', '_polyester', '_cool'. You can see this if you open the csv file in Excel or LibreOffice.
