Burn tests are often used to help one determind the fibers in a kimono, or any textile for that matter. Simple snip a small little peice if a peice an be found- for example on an unlined kimono, snip a little where the kimono is tucked under from the hem, AFTER the sewing line. (not in between the two sides!).

Here are some links describing the results per the fiber:

Be safe when you conduct your test!
