Firm Sew-In Horsehair Canvas Plastron Interfacing (Pad Stitching) 80 cm wide on a 20m roll

This woven horsehair interfacing, produced in the Netherlands, is a durable sew-in material ideal for plastrons—the inner structure of coats, jackets, and blazers. Pad stitching is a traditional tailoring technique used to provide stability and shape to garments, acting as the jacket’s internal framework. This horsehair canvas offers a firm, stable, and well-defined interlining that helps maintain the garment’s form.

Garments featuring a plastron, such as suits, coats, and jackets, tend to have a long lifespan, making them an environmentally friendly choice. For enhanced durability, pair this firm sew-in horsehair interfacing with high-quality outer wool fabrics to extend the life of your garment even further.

Why Choose This Firm Sew-In Horsehair Cloth?

The unique blend of goat hair and horsehair creates a robust canvas that retains its shape well during wear. The fabric width is 80 cm, allowing you to cut an entire panel in one piece.
