Cuffs and collars are close to your skin, so they are key shirt tags. They are around the neck and the ends of the sleeves. Because they are worn frequently, they must be very strong and durable. We use something called interlining to make them tough!
Interlining is a discrete layer of material added to two layers of fabric. This layer is very useful as it provides the shape and support of the shirt. Because cuffs and collars wrinkle and don’t stay put without some means of interlining, This matters a lot because cuffs and collars experience a high volume of wear and tear from daily use.
Interlining is also a key player in ensuring that cuffs and collars maintain their shape and stand the test of time. This makes them stiff, and strong.” One example of that is that you use interlining to prevent the collar from rolling down around your neck. It also helps the cuff hold its shape so it looks clean. Interlining also serves to protect the shirt from damage, especially when you wash it. That means your shirt will both look better and last longer, even after many washings.
Interlining Woven: This type of interlining is made from tightly woven fabric. It is rigid and quite strong so it is the ideal choice for cuffs and collars that require more support and structure.
Fusible Interlining: This type has a thin layer of glue applied on one side. It bonds itself to the fabric when you apply heat, such as from an iron. For shirts that you want to be soft and comfortable to wear, fusible interlining is easy to apply.
Then, sandwich the interlining in between the top and bottom fabric pieces. Ensure that all the edges are perfectly lined up and everything fits together nicely.
