Father's Day and a Question...

Pellon only makes non-woven interfacing and doesn't make woven canvas interfacing. I went to the Pellon web site, and their product list doesn't include anything with hair in it, so I don't know why this particular eBay seller says that this is a Pellon product.

I'd steer clear and order hair canvas from a reputable dealer, such B Black and Sons. The link is in the post that Sydnie refers to above.

Freudenberg, the former owners of the pellon brand, certainly do make hair canvas, and used to sell it as Pellon branded product. It's sold as Vilene branded stuff these days, and not to consumers. (at least, not in the US. maybe in the EU, dunno.) I don't know when the change occured (pellon's consumer products changed starting a couple years ago, almost entirely for the worse.), but I wouldn't be surprised to find old stock around for years.

that said, the stuff on ebay is a rip off. It's three times what it costs from someone like B. Black, and it's only 22" wide. (stuff from tailor's supplier is 60 to 72 inches.)

I stand corrected. I only looked at what they _currently_ market, not considering that they might have sold it in the past.

Very interesting! Yeah, if I'm gonna order something off the internet, it may as well be the good stuff, especially if you get so much more as vorpallemur pointed out! Thanks alot guys! This board rocks!
