Wikipedia

satin (countable and uncountable, plural satins)

  1. A cloth woven from silk, nylon or polyester with a glossy surface and a dull back. (The same weaving technique applied to cotton produces cloth termed sateen).
  2. (slang, obsolete) Gin (the drink).
    • 2014, Richard Gordon, The Private Life of Jack the Ripper, page 13:
      'This poor gal was robbed, barely left a stitch, that and the drink... mind, I likes a drop of satin – wot you'd call gin – myself. I'll say nothing against it. She ended thrown out of an upstairs winder.'
