The Crucial Role of Canvas in Your Suit or Sport Jacket!

The canvas within your suit or sport jacket serves as its structural backbone, providing shape, integrity, and dimension. Understanding the importance of the canvas is essential in ensuring the quality and longevity of your garment.

Let's delve deeper into why the canvas matters and how it impacts the overall craftsmanship of your attire.

Structural Integrity and Dimension: The canvas within a suit or sport jacket is composed of three layers: horsehair, felt, and cotton. Traditionally, this construction method has been employed to give the garment its three-dimensional shape. However, in response to modern comfort preferences, lighter canvases made of cotton and felt have been introduced. Regardless of the material, the canvas serves to stabilize the garment and enhance its durability over time.

Full Canvas vs. Fusing: In our custom clothing at Wayne Edwards Workshop, we prioritize full canvas construction across all three levels of workmanship: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Unlike fused garments, where only the chest area is canvassed and the bottom half is fused, full canvas construction provides superior structural stability. Fused garments, such as those commonly found in brands like Hugo Boss, lack the three-dimensional look and longevity of a well-made suit or sport jacket.

Pitfalls of Fusing: One of the significant drawbacks of fused garments is the risk of puckering, especially after dry cleaning. This occurs when the glue used for fusing shrinks, causing blisters in the fabric. While fused garments may offer a lower price point, they compromise on quality and longevity, making them less desirable for discerning customers seeking premium craftsmanship.

The Platinum Standard: At our Platinum level of workmanship, we use the same high-quality canvases found in top-tier brands like Brioni. These pre-shrunk canvases are crafted from the finest materials, ensuring exceptional durability and performance. Despite the comparable quality, our custom-made Platinum clothing offers unparalleled value compared to branded counterparts like Brioni.
