Which wadding do you need?
Wadding is the part of a garment nobody sees. It sits between the outer cloth and the lining and decides whether a piece holds its shape or hangs flat. What matters is how much body you want and where.
| Where it goes | What it does there | What to tell us |
|---|---|---|
| Jacket and coat body | Adds warmth and keeps the panel from collapsing | How warm the finished garment has to be |
| Shoulders | Holds the shoulder line square | Whether you want a soft or a structured shoulder |
| Quilted panels | Gives the loft the stitching sits on | The quilting pattern and how deep you want it |
| Collars and cuffs | Stops the edge going limp with wear | The cloth weight it sits behind |
| Bags and cases | Adds padding and protects the contents | How much protection is needed |
Tell us the garment and how much body you want it to have. If you have a sample of something with the right feel, that answers it faster than any description.
Questions buyers ask about wadding
- What is wadding used for?
- It is the soft filling that gives a garment body and shape. It sits inside the garment, so it is never seen, but it is what stops a jacket or a padded panel looking flat.
- How is wadding sold?
- By the sheet or the roll, in different thicknesses. The right thickness depends on how much body the garment needs. Tell us the garment and what you are trying to achieve and we will tell you what is normally used.
