Selected
Unique fabric dyed with Fuller's earth
Pretty tricky, especially without an image.
I think the "unique" must be used here as a marketing term (one of a kind, special, etc.) rather than "single".
And Fuller's earth seems to be used as a treatment for fabrics, ageing, weathering and dyeing leather for example - which would make sense for the boots. Could the clothing be leather too?
So I'm assuming it's a description of some innovative fabric, possibly leather, using Fuller's earth to make it look a certain way.
Hope that helps!
