Horsehair Interlining Adhesive (Per Metre)

Horsehair Interlining Adhesive (Per Metre)

In the photo you can see the open, rough weave of this natural horsehair cloth right away, with flashes of the woven hair scattered throughout the yarns. The greyish-beige colour is understated and unbleached, exactly what you expect from a crafted interfacing material. The cloth feels sturdy and slightly coarse to the touch, with a structure that immediately brings traditional tailoring techniques to mind.

What is this material

Hanzel horsehair cloth is a classic interlining with horsehair woven in for extra body and shape. The hair gives a natural stiffness that you rarely get with synthetic materials. This adhesive version has a fusible layer on one side, so you can simply iron it onto your fashion fabric. If you're looking to buy horsehair for authentic tailoring techniques, you'll find a cloth here that has proven its worth for generations. The open structure allows the fabric under the interlining to breathe well, something that often gets lost with denser interfacing.

Uses

This horsehair fabric is a reliable choice in tailoring and has been used for decades to give garments their signature shape. Think of:

• Stiffening jacket collars and lapels
• Shaping panelled jackets and coats
• Reinforcing cuffs and edges
• Adding structure to waistcoats and uniforms
• Supporting historical and theatrical costumes
• Strengthening waistbands and trouser bands
• Using in vintage sewing projects where authenticity matters
• Restoring bespoke suits and classic garments

Conclusion

For anyone who wants to bring quality and craftsmanship to their projects, this horsehair cloth is a valued addition to the sewing kit. Browse more sturdy materials in our haberdashery accessories or explore the full range of haberdashery at Rijs Textiles.
