Interlining
Advanced interlining for performance and comfort
Interlinings are the backbone of garment construction, providing structure, stability, and enhancing the overall appearance of apparel. Whether reinforcing collars, cuffs, and waistbands or adding flexibility and shape retention to tailored pieces, the right interlining is key to achieving premium garment performance.
