Wool Interior Textile
Wool and wool-blend interior textile for luxury seats and headliners.
Overview
Wool and wool-blend interior textiles are used on luxury seats, headliners and door inserts where natural handle, humidity buffering and a non-leather story are wanted. They are often blended with polyamide or polyester for abrasion. Distinct from Leather, Alcantara, Velour and Polyester (PET Fabric). This is a natural wool or wool-blend textile, not a synthetic suede. Typically woven or knitted, laminated to foam, and cut and sewn. Flame-retardant and abrasion specifications are automotive, not apparel.
