Firm Sew-in Wool Hair Canvas / Horsehair Canvas – Natural – 80 cm wide – 25m Roll

Wool Hair Canvas: The Premium Foundation for Bespoke Tailoring

Give your coats and blazers a professional structure with this woven, sew-in chest piece (plastron) interfacing. This high-quality Dutch product offers a firm result without stiffness, making it the perfect choice for heavier materials such as winter fabrics and coatings.

This full roll contains 25 meters of canvas. It is also available by the meter, with tiered pricing (the price per meter decreases as you order more).

Why Choose Wool Hair Canvas?

In traditional tailoring, hair canvas is used for pad stitching (pikeren): a technique where the interfacing is attached to the fabric by hand (or machine). This forms the "skeleton" of your garment. The result?

• Shape Retention: Your jacket maintains its silhouette for years.

• Durability: Garments last significantly longer.

• Natural Drape: Unlike fusible interfacing (such as the Vlieseline/Freudenberg brands), hair canvas preserves the natural fall and movement of the fabric.

Please note: This is an authentic tailoring product designed to be sewn in, not ironed on.
