                Materials used in real clothing exhibit remarkable complexity
                and spatial variation due to common processes such as stitching,
                hemming, dyeing, printing, padding, and bonding. Simulating
                these materials, for instance using finite element methods, is
                often computationally demanding and slow. Here we propose a
                general framework for learning a simple yet efficient mass
                mass-spring surrogate model that captures the effects of these
                complex materials using only motion observations.  Our method
                achieves significantly faster training times, higher
                reconstruction accuracy, and improved generalization to
                scenarios where the cloth encounters novel dynamics.
