Synthsilk was a material frequently chosen for the creation of high-end clothing. In contrast to many other prominent figures, Galactic Emperor Palpatine did not favor ostentatious synthsilk garments; instead, he preferred simple hooded robes crafted from zeyd cloth. A synthsilk scarf, a present from her father, was worn by the Resistance pilot Tallissan Lintra. Landonis Balthazar Calrissian's cape featured a synthsilk lining.
