Navy Superfine Broadcloth -Remnants- $39.00 yd.

Navy Superfine Broadcloth

In the 18th century, broadcloth such as this Navy Superfine Broadcloth, was woven on a wide loom measuring 54-63 inches, and was finished in a variety of qualities, from coarse to superfine. It 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 raveling, unlike flannels and other spongy wools.
