Spanish term or phrase: Plastrones
La familia de "artículos de pelo" está compuesta por Crinolina, Sidos y Plastrones.

Crinoline, canvases and ? At least I think the second is canvases. These are hair interlinings used in garment manufacture. All I can find for plastrón is "Ascot tie"

English translation: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

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.

'Plastron' exists in English.

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?

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.
