Horsehair canvas Explanation: I think it is used in the interfacing and is made from horse hair: Conseguir que cobre vida la prenda es, en gran medida, función de la entretela, su disposición y configuraciones. Para esto, el sastre se ayuda de tres tipos básicos: Entretela, Plastrón y Boatina El Plastrón, suele confeccionarse con crin de caballo http://www.sinabrochar.com/interior-la-entretela/ Horsehair – sometimes called horsehair canvas or hair canvas – is a sturdy, woven interfacing with a coarse texture https://fabricforcosplayers.com/haircanvas/ Plastrón y boatina Horsehair canvas Plastrón: Las pieza de plastron se montan en una entretela de crin https://www.seampedia.com/abc/americana/ |

Reference Reference information: I can't copy text here but there are several references to 'plastrón/plastron/plastrones. Apparently the word comes from French. Page 245 and others. https://digibug.ugr.es/bitstream/handle/10481/1671/16920600.... https://www.wordreference.com/fren/plastron https://www.yourdictionary.com/plastron 'Plastron' exists in English. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 44 mins (2020-05-14 19:49:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- kittilina's helpful reference led me to 'hymo shield, which led me to this: I was watching a speed tailoring video by an English girl called Terry Fox. She had some very interesting tips for stiffening the shoulder area of a tailored jacket. She calls it a plastron, which is fixed with a fusible interfacing to hold it in place. Does anyone know where I could purchase this (plastron) stiff fabric from? She also used an interesting technique around the arm scye (sp?) this involved putting a fleece type fabric and trimming it so it makes the shoulder seam sit up a bit. I only watched the video quickly, so can’t remember the exact details, but can anybody enlighten me more about these techniques please? https://www.threadsmagazine.com/forum/stiffener-for-shoulder... I’ll also describe the front shield piece in detail below; like the sleeve header, it’s a nonfusible. I use a supple woven hymo or hair canvas, which can be cut on the straight grain or on the bias if the hymo seems stiff, softening the effect and allowing the shield to meld with the drape of the fabric. https://www.threadsmagazine.com/2009/01/24/armani-jackets-th... |
