Fusing Cloth for Sherwanis: Selecting the Right Weight

 

Sherwanis often require substantial internal support because of their structured construction and decorative detailing. This makes the choice of fusing cloth an important part of production planning. The interlining sits behind the fashion fabric and helps the garment maintain its intended body and shape.

For full-front sherwani construction, Double Ghoda identifies 140 GSM 111 quality as a commonly used woven grade. Its product range for woven interlining extends from 30 to 150 GSM, giving manufacturers lighter and heavier options depending on the garment and fabric.

The choice should not be based on weight alone. A manufacturer should consider the outer fabric, embroidery, garment construction and desired stiffness before finalising the fusing cloth. Heavier fabrics and highly structured designs may call for higher GSM support, while lighter garments can require a different grade to preserve their intended handle.

Woven interlining is particularly relevant for this application because its warp-and-weft construction provides stronger structural performance than non-woven material. Double Ghoda's woven range uses PA double-dot coating, with 150 cm width and 50-metre rolls. The material is also listed as OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified.

Application conditions should be controlled during production. The stated woven fusing range is approximately 125–145°C for 18–25 seconds at 1.5–2.5 kg/cm² pressure. Manufacturers should conduct testing before committing an entire production batch, particularly when working with a new fashion fabric or different pressing equipment.

For bulk sherwani production, a clear specification sheet can make procurement easier. Listing the required GSM, construction, width, colour, coating and roll quantity gives suppliers enough information to understand the material requirement and helps production teams maintain consistency.
