Most people don’t think about the lining when buying clothing. It’s just something taken for granted. However, the lining is just as important as the outer fabric of a garment.

Linings do much more than just hide seams. In fact, an inferior lining made from the wrong material will make your clothing almost unwearable.

The wrong lining will:

• Trap moisture and heat inside your clothing, making you feel hot and sweaty.
• Create static so that your clothing actually clings and creeps up rather than hanging smoothly.
• Attract dust and pollen onto your clothing, making it look dirty and accelerating the need for cleaning.
• Will feel scratchy and abrade your skin.

However, a good lining will:

• Make clothing easier to put on and take off because they allow the outer fabric to easily slide over your skin or inner layers.
• Enhance the drape of your clothing
• Help keep the outer fabric clean.
• Ensure that your clothing isn’t transparent (especially important for open weave fabrics).

Bemberg is fantastic lining that ideally I’d want in all my clothing. While Bemberg is first and foremost a lining company, Bemberg fabrics can be used for much more than just lining.

Bemberg was first manufactured in the late 19^th century by J.P. Bemberg, a German rayon producer and exporter. He entered into a licensing agreement with Shitagau Noguchi in 1928. Nogushi tinkered with rayon technology, eventually resulting in his signature artificial fiber, “Bemberg.”

Noguchi began production in 1931 in Nobeoka City, Miyazaki Prefecture. Today, Bemberg is manufactured around the world, sold in 41 countries, and is used by the finest suit manufacturers including Hugo Boss, Armani, and Zegna.
