plush/terry cloth
"Plush" - if made out of silk.
"Terry cloth" - if made out of cotton.
Since it's a blazer for a night out, I'd assume it's "plush." However, there are Terry cloth (or French Terry) blazers out there.

: I think Marlene is right here - and I think it can be either sweatshirt fabric, like a traditional cotton tracksuit, or also possibly polar fleece. But most likely the cotton variety.
