What cloths suit structured jackets?
A structured jacket needs a cloth that holds a shoulder and a lapel. Worsted wool, cotton twill, and some blends do that when the weight is right. A fluid viscose usually does not. Decorative borders and embroidery are trims. FabStitch does not invent a Nehru-jacket SKU. Choose the body cloth from a real fabric page.

- Stability before decoration.
- Knit is a different jacket.
- Trim is not the body cloth.

If the border is silk, specify the border separately.
Do not assume the body and the border are one roll.
