My Webster I forgot to check and that's dumb as it often has the one thing no one else has. Jazey A wig; a corruption of Jersey, and so called because they are made of Jersey flax and fine wool. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. Slang in 1811 JAZEY. A bob wig. My Webster is: Webster's Online Dictionary with Multilingual Thesaurus Translation. I like it. (not knowing it also exits as 'jasey').

Dictionaries, helpful or ? jasey a wig, esp. one made of worsted. worsted 1. firmly twisted yarn or thread spun from combed, stapled wool fibers of the same length, for weaving, knitting, etc. 2. wool cloth woven from such yarns, having a hard, smooth surface and no nap. So is a jasey made of yarn, thread or cloth? Nice jasey - you look like Raggedy Ann. Last edited by Myridon; 05/15/08 03:56 PM.
