Collar lining
Collar lining is a specialized fabric used in the construction of collars in garments, providing support, structure, and a polished finish. Here’s an overview of its features, types, and benefits:
Features:
Supportive: Helps maintain the shape of the collar, preventing it from sagging or losing form.
Softness: Often made from softer materials to ensure comfort against the skin, especially when worn.
Lightweight: Generally lightweight, allowing for a smooth drape without adding bulk.
Types:
Fusible Interlining: Often used for collar linings, these have an adhesive backing that bonds to the main fabric when heat is applied, making them easy to apply.
Non-Fusible Interlining: Requires sewing to attach and can offer a different level of support and flexibility.
Knitted or Woven Fabrics: Some collars may use lightweight knits or woven fabrics as linings for added comfort and breathability.
Benefits:
Improved Appearance: Provides a clean, finished look to collars, enhancing the overall garment.
Comfort: Soft linings reduce irritation and improve the wearing experience.
Durability: Helps collars maintain their shape over time, contributing to the longevity of the garment.
