Double cloth fabric
Also known as: Double cloth, Two-layer weave, Double-face fabric
Two parallel woven layers joined at spot points — voluminous, warm and reversible.
Description
Double cloth is produced by weaving two complete layers simultaneously with two warp and two weft systems. The layers are either stitched together at spot points (bound double cloth), joined at the edges (tubular double cloth) or produced loosely stacked.
The construction unlocks great design flexibility: top and bottom can carry different colours, patterns or even materials — the classic doubleface effect used in winter coats and wool blankets. Double cloth is heavy, warm and dimensionally stable. Jackets and blazers are often left unlined because both faces already look high-end. Typical weights range from 300 to 600 g/m².
- Both faces are visible — reversible garments are possible
- Excellent thermal insulation without separate lining
- Coats often feature visible contrast on the inner face
- In sports fabrics: soft fleece-look inside, smoothly woven outside
