Coutil

from $26.99

Description

Coutil is a tightly woven cotton fabric engineered specifically to provide exceptional strength, stability, and resistance to stretching under tension. Unlike ordinary cotton canvas or twill, coutil is woven with a high thread count and durable yarns to minimize distortion without sacrificing breathability or comfort. This version features a classic herringbone weave, which distributes stress evenly throughout the fabric and adds subtle flexibility without compromising stability. Together, these qualities create a fabric that offers outstanding structural support and is easier to sew than many synthetic reinforcement materials. Coutil has long been the standard foundation fabric for corsetry and other structured garments because it maintains its shape even under significant strain.

  • Width: 60"

  • Fiber Content: 100% Cotton

  • Weight: Heavyweight

  • Stretch: None

  • Opacity: Opaque

  • Drape: Structured

  • Finish: Herringbone Twill

Care Instructions

  • Machine wash cold before cutting if pre-shrinking is desired

  • Tumble dry low or line dry

  • Warm iron with steam as needed

  • Do not bleach
