In the realm of custom tailoring, the choice between half canvas and full canvas construction is crucial. Let's explore the essence of both to help you make an informed decision for your next tailored commission.
Canvas is essentially the hidden layer between your jacket material and the inner lining. Often made from a blend of horse hair and synthetic, it is there to give a garment shape, structure and insure it moulds to the wearers body.
Half canvas construction offers a blend of affordability and quality. With the canvas extending from the chest to the midsection, these suits provide a better tailored fit than any fused or ready to wear option. More affordable than a full canvas construction but with less drape meaning you can’t always achieve the same fantastic fit that a full canvas suit might. This is minimal but so is the saving so for us not always worth it.
