Will Larsy shows how shirt collars get their stiffness. A fusible interlining, an adhesive fabric, is inserted between layers, then a heated machine fuses and stamps the pieces to create the perfect shape and rigidity.
They're making shirts. Very typical with shirts, you have cuffs and you have collars. Those are much stiffer. How do they get them to be stiff? They actually put a sort of fabric in between, an adhesive that allows it to get a little bit more shape. That is called fusing. What they actually do that's interesting is for the cuff, they did it in two different segments. I guess they're doing two cuffs at the same time, right? And they're going to cut it. And that's the collar piece, going to wrap around the neck and fold. It goes into the machine. The machine heats it up and stamps it down. We're going to see that they come out over here and now they've been fused. These two materials are together, so you get that stiffness you're looking for.
