Use a tailor’s ham for wrinkle-free ironing and professional garment pressing. Ideal for darts, shaped seams, necklines, hems, waistlines, cuffs, collars, and even entire garment sections. An essential tool for anyone who makes their own clothing
Curved seams and shapes are easy to press with a tailor’s ham. For straight seams, use a seam roll or seam press; these can be found in the Seam Rolls, Press Cloths and Pressing Boards category
Tailor’s hams are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. In this category, you’ll find everything from compact hand hams to larger bean-shaped (maxi) versions, and everything in between. We also offer tailor’s hams on a stand, such as the popular body- or pear-shaped models with a base
The shape of a tailor’s ham determines its use. The classic egg-shaped ham has a thicker and a narrower end, making it easy to press different curves, such as collars and cuffs. Looking for even more versatility? Choose a bean- or kidney-shaped ham. Thanks to its asymmetrical shape, it offers multiple curves and surfaces to work with
A tailor’s ham on a stand provides extra stability while pressing. Unlike a loose ham, it stays firmly in place on your ironing board or table. This not only makes your work more comfortable, but also faster—ideal for frequent use
In short: with the right tailor’s ham, you can work more accurately, efficiently, and achieve a professional pressing result
