FULL CANVAS AND HALF CANVAS | Carlo Pham

Carlo Pham is the best Vietnam suit tailor with five years of custom-made experience in Hanoi, Vietnam.


We understand that there is a lot of language involved with the art that may need to be explained.


And, because it is our duty at Carlo Pham Shop to make you look and feel your best, we wanted to clarify a few tailoring words to make the process a little more understandable: half-canvas vs. full-canvas construction.


When purchasing a blazer, carnet DB suit from our shop.


You have the option of choosing between two interlining styles: half canvas or full canvas. So what are full canvas and half canvas suit? Each one will cause your jacket to sit and fit somewhat differently.


Read on to discover more about these two possibilities and determine which one is best for you and your jacket.


WHAT IS A CANVAS?


Canvas, often known as canvas interlining, is a type of cloth that fits between the blazer's outer shell and the visible lining on the inside. You can see where it might fit in two different coats above.


Canvas, which is often constructed of a horsehair and cotton combination, provides structure and support to the jacket.

It alters how the jacket hangs or drapes around your body, potentially making it more flattering. Furthermore, when a jacket is interlined with canvas, it is more likely to survive longer and preserve its shape.


WHAT IS HALF-CANVAS CONSTRUCTION?


Do you know the different between full canvas and half canvas? As previously stated, a half-canvas jacket has only one lining from the shoulder to the waist. Half-canvas provides a good, structured shoulder and a subtle, natural droop over the chest.


Because there is less canvas and less effort required in this sort of jacket, you may expect to pay slightly less than for a fully canvassed jacket. It will also feel lighter than a full-canvas and less structured.

It will feel more solid and fit better than a jacket with no canvas. It will organically mould to your body over time, making it an excellent long-term investment.


WHAT IS FULL-CANVAS CONSTRUCTION?


As with a half-canvas jacket, complete canvas provides a lot of rigidity across the shoulders and body of the jacket. 


However, the structure extends deeper down the front, providing for an even greater fit and drape.

You will also receive a more durable jacket that can withstand decades of use and dry cleaning. The main drawbacks to full-canvas are the increased cost and manufacturing time.

Moss doesn't presently sell off-the-rack full-canvas jackets. However, if you choose our Carlo Pham bespoke tailoring service, you can select a full-canvas lining for added structure and longevity. Again, it will be slightly more expensive and take longer to produce.



Both half and full-canvas jackets have advantages and disadvantages, so select wisely. But, as usual, if you get the fit perfect and enjoy the fabric and finishings, you'll probably wear it for years.


How is our canvas made?


Our canvas comes from one of the greatest vendors in the industry. We pick and supply everything ourselves to assure excellent quality and consistency. 



The full canvas suit was sewn by a professional tailor over many days.

While the rest of the suit-making business may purchase prefabricated canvas pieces, all of our canvas is custom-made in Hanoi to our ateliers' specifications and technical guidelines. The canvas-making process can be broadly described as follows:


Step 1: Three or four independent canvas layers, each in a different shape and size, are cut along different 'grain lines' (different weaving directions).


This guarantees that each piece moves and supports the structure of your body precisely.


Step 2: The canvas pieces are loosely stitched together to allow each layer to move independently from one another.


Step 3: The layered canvas is washed to eliminate shrinkage and dried naturally before being sewn into your made-to-measure outfit.
