For Blazers and Jackets:

Aim for medium to heavyweight interlining: You want your blazer or jacket to have a structured silhouette that holds its shape. Hair canvas or a medium weight polyester interlining are great options.

Consider fusible interlining: This type heat-bonds to your fabric, making application of your woven fusible interlining a breeze.

Pay attention to drape: If you prefer a softer jacket, opt for a slightly lighter weight interlining or a more pliable material like cotton.

 

For Collars and Cuffs:

Medium weight interlining is your friend: This provides enough structure for a crisp collar or defined cuff without feeling bulky.

Fusible interlining makes construction easier: Especially for those curved areas when working with your woven interlining fabric.

For a softer collar, explore lightweight fusible interlining options.

 

For Waistbands:

Medium weight interlining is a good starting point: This ensures your waistband keeps its shape and provides a comfortable level of support.

Consider sew-in interlining: This might be preferable for thicker waistbands, offering more flexibility during construction.
