What does canvas construction mean?Updated 2 months ago

Samuelsohn and Heritage Gold only use canvas construction. The canvas is a layer of fabric (traditionally made from horsehair, wool, and other materials) that is placed between the outer fabric of the suit and the inner lining. The purpose of the canvas is to provide structure and shape to the suit jacket, allowing it to mold to the wearer's body over time.

In contrast, a fused suit has a glued interlining instead of a canvas. Samuelsohn and Heritage Gold garments are never fused. While fused suits are generally cheaper and quicker to produce, they do not offer the same level of fit, comfort, or longevity as canvas-constructed suits.
