Frequently asked questions — fusible interlining & fusing cloth
Common questions from suit manufacturers, sherwani factories and garment wholesalers about fusible interlining types, GSM, body fusing and wholesale supply across India.
Fusible interlining is a base fabric — woven or non-woven — with thermoplastic adhesive coated on one side. Unlike regular fabric, it is designed to bond permanently to another fabric when pressed with heat and pressure. It is not visible in the finished garment — it sits between the fashion fabric and the lining, providing structural support. Regular fabric has no adhesive coating and must be sewn in if used as interlining (which is the older “sew-in” method, now largely replaced by fusible interlining in factory production).
They are the same product referred to by different trade names. Fusing cloth is the term most commonly used in Surat and Gujarat’s garment trade. Body fusing refers specifically to the heavy woven interlining (100–150 GSM) applied across the full front body of a suit or sherwani. Fusible interlining is the technical term used in international and more formal trade contexts. Suit fusing and body fusing cloth are further variations. Double Ghoda stocks all grades regardless of what your factory calls it.
For sherwanis: 140 GSM woven fusible interlining (trade name: 111 quality) — this is the industry-standard grade for full-front sherwani fusing across Surat and North India. For structured suits: 100–130 GSM woven. For blazers: 80–120 GSM depending on fabric weight and desired stiffness. Indian garment manufacturers consistently use heavier grades than international markets because ethnic formal wear requires higher structural rigidity. Double Ghoda’s complete 30–150 GSM range covers every requirement.
111 quality is a trade-recognised name for 140 GSM woven fusible interlining — the flagship body fusing grade used by sherwani manufacturers across Surat, Delhi and North India. The number 111 identifies a specific GSM, hand-feel and bonding performance that buyers in the garment trade recognise by name without needing further specification. It is Double Ghoda’s top-selling product. Contact us and ask for 111 quality by name — we know exactly what you need.
Woven fusible interlining has a proper woven structure — yarns interlaced in both directions — making it stronger, more durable and better at retaining structural shape. It is used for the full-front body of suits, blazers and sherwanis (80–150 GSM). Non-woven fusible interlining is made by bonding fibres together — lighter (30–82 GSM), more economical, and suited for collars, cuffs, plackets and smaller garment parts where full structural support is not required. Most factories use both: woven for the garment body, non-woven for construction details.
PA stands for polyamide — the thermoplastic adhesive used on woven fusible interlining. Double-dot refers to the application pattern: adhesive is applied in two staggered rows of dots, increasing surface coverage compared to single-dot grades. In practice, PA double-dot coating means faster fusing (the adhesive activates more completely), stronger bonds (more adhesive contact area), and better resistance to delamination after dry cleaning. All woven fusible interlining from Double Ghoda uses PA double-dot — it is our standard, not an upgrade.
Fusing cloth wholesale price in India varies by GSM, construction type (woven or non-woven) and quantity ordered. Heavier GSM costs more per metre; non-woven is more economical than woven at the same GSM. The 111 quality (140 GSM) is priced at a premium over lighter woven grades. Double Ghoda provides written quotations with per-metre pricing for orders of 1,000 metres and above. The fastest way to get a price is to WhatsApp your GSM, colour, quantity and city — we respond within 1 hour.
