This cloth "holds an edge" well.
Fiber Content:100% wool
Width:62" wide
Weight:14 ounces per square yard
The back of the cloth is marked with two circular chalk maker's marks every two lineal feet. They read "UNIFORM CLOTH METCALF BROS. & CO." These maker's marks brush out. This is truly fabric made for uniforms, not just dark blue wool made for the fashion trade.
