Lining & Rever Fabric
Our collection of linings includes premium cupro bemberg linings from Italy, and more economical linings from China. For high-quality jackets that are comfortable to wear, lining in cupro bemberg or silk is highly recommended, asthe breathability of these fibers is unparalleled. The comfort scale of the most common lining fabrics when it comes to perspiration places cupro at the top (silk is also good for ladies garments, or silk in combination with cupro); viscose next; then acetate (which is usually a blend); and finally polyester is at the bottom. In other words, you'll sweat the most in polyester and the least in cupro. (More info here.)
We also now have double-faced duchess satin for tuxedo lapels (also called revers)!
We have light-colored striped sleeve linings for the traditionalists among us, and lightweight linings for pants and skirts in both a lightweight cupro and in polyester. As with other fabrics in our store, we sell by the yard and half-yard, and offer quantity discounts. And if color and feel are important to you, we offer small sample books so that you can touch and compare before committing.
