Abstract
A fabric having a furry surface comprising an elongated strip of a hair-coated skin of a fur-bearing animal, said strip having a hair-free body portion and a hair-bearing portion extending the length of the strip at a lower part thereof such that the hair extends from said lower part substantially in or adjacent to a single plane; and a non-furry thread of reinforcing material sewn into and extending the length of said hair-free body portion. The invention provides a fabric having improved strength. Also provided are methods of manufacturing the fabric and sewn strips of improved strength.
Claims8
A method of production of a fabric having a furry surface made from an elongated strip of a hair-coated skin of a fur-bearing animal, said strip including base skin layer and a hair coating such that the base skin layer provides a hair-free body portion extending the length of the strip and said hair coating provides a hair-bearing portion extending the length of the strip at the lower part thereof and a non-furry thread of reinforcing material sewn into and extending the length of said hair-free body portion, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) cutting the hair-coated skin to form an elongated strip of said hair-coated skin;
- (b) providing a non-furry thread of reinforcing material;
- (c) sewing said non-furry thread of reinforcing material into and extending the length of said hair-free body portion in such a manner so as to be free from contact with said hair bearing portion, thereby producing a sewn strip;
- (d) twisting said sewn strip, to give a twisted sewn strip such that the skin forms an elongated longitudinally extending core of said sewn strip and the hair stands out radially from the skin and forms a substantially continuous outer layer which encircles the core;
- and
- (e) forming said twisted sewn strip into said fabric.
A method of production of an elongated sewn strip for a fabric, the fabric having a furry surface made from an elongated strip of a hair-coated skin of a fur-bearing animal, said strip including a base skin layer and a hair coating such that the base skin layer provides a hair-free body portion extending the length of the strip and said hair coating provides a hair-bearing portion extending the length of the strip at the lower part thereof and a non-furry thread of reinforcing material sewn into and extending the length of said hair-free body portion, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) cutting the hair-coated skin to form an elongated strip of said hair-coated skin;
- (b) providing a non-furry thread of reinforcing material;
- and
- (c) sewing said non-furry thread of reinforcing material into and extending the length of said hair-free body portion in such a manner so as to be free from contact with said hair bearing portion, thereby producing said sewn strip.
