Tailoring Fabrics
All those essential and hard to find tailoring fabrics....
Hair Canvas
Wool Canvas Classic tailoring hair canvas used as an interlining in all good suits. Helps to maintain the shape and structure of the garment.
Also known as hair interlining.
Being cotton based this does shrink a few percent. We normally dampen the fabric using a spray bottle or steam and then allow to dry hung up overnight.
Collar Melton Collar Melton High quality collar melton in 100% wool. This felt like fabric is vital for completing the under collar in tailored coats and jackets.
Sold by the quarter metre from the 188cm wide bolt, if you order more than 1 unit you will be sold a continuous piece.
Or....now by the metre on 9.5cm wide strips (probably more economical of you are only making one collar).
Now available in blue!
