Shoulder Padding

Normal padding

A common option for half canvas and full canvas construction. The pad is made of soft cotton enclosed by a soft felt.

No padding

The default option for unstructured construction, the natural shoulder has no padding or structure. This construction style is most closely associated with the southern Italian tradition. No padding shoulder construction can also be used for structured garments, resulting in a soft, natural shoulder but a canvassed, more structured chest.

Light padding

This option provides very minimal structure to the shoulder by using a single layer of canvas surrounded by thin, soft felt. The result is a very soft, nearly imperceptible shoulder pad.

Extra padding

A more substantial pad than our standard, created by a combination of an extra layer of canvas together with more padding to provide a higher and more structured shoulder. Suitable for full canvas and half canvas construction.
