I’m a gay male software engineer and had the same experience as you, I knew most of those words and the few I didn’t I had heard a few times but couldn’t define off the top of my head. And yes, lots of guys (even gay) just have zero clue about textiles. Also a small nitpick, an espadrille is not a woman’s shoe, it’s a style as far as I’m aware. I have a pair I wear in the summer.
