I guess a new dull MATERIAL Fabric will do the job.

I don't know enough about these specific actual physical parts to know what is needed here. Adding FABRIC as an official material is fine, but I do know that LEGO has produced items with multiple different types of fabric. For example:
- Boba Fett big fig Pauldron (same as Darth Vader big fig cape, 76393 Harry Potter cape?)
- Minifig capes
- Sails
- Tepee/Covered Wagon
- Qui-Gon Jinn minifig poncho
I'm guessing there are others, but I'm not sure. Should this be one material type with parameters to specify the details, or a separate material for each one? I just don't know.

I guess three sizes: fine (capes), medium (sails), coarse (tepee/covered wagon) will do the job.

The large capes (like on big fig Vader) use significantly different fabric from the minifig ones. One side is, for lack of a better word, fuzzy. (Velvety?)

Just to be on the same page, we are talking about this:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=42256
which is indeed completely different from the usual cape/sail/whatever. I don't like to overrule this too much. Three gradients seem more than enough. We could always add them in a second moment if there is need for - or leave it to the user als we did with with direct color.

Thinking this throug, it should be as open as possible so beside MATERIAL and FABRIC it should have a TYPE for Canvas, Cord, Velvet, Silk, Ciffon, a MESH SIZE s | MINSIZE min MAXSIZE max and REFLECTION r to control the dullness.

I would appreciate it, if you could bring this ship in.
