Red Fine Broadcloth - Seconds

Woven on a broad loom measuring 54 to 63 inches, broadcloth in the 18th century was distinguished by its stoutness, tightness of weave and denseness of fulling, which was sheared close to create a silky but firm hand. The tightness of the broadcloth allowed it to be cut raw and left without unraveling, unlike flannels and other spongy wools. 

    • This Red Fine Broadcloth - Seconds is considered seconds due to its lack of a visible selvedge edge. It's finished on the edges but not to the extent we are accustomed to. There are some schools of thought that this may be more accurate to the time period.
    • This Red Fine Broadcloth - Seconds is lightweight with a tight weave. It is a thin flat wool, making it a good choice for garments that require pleating or gathering.
    • Well-suited to uniforms, outerwear, coats, breeches, waistcoats, women's riding habits, and 19th century winter pelisses.
    • 100% Wool, 59 inches wide.
