Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find high‑quality felt shoulder pads for jackets, blazers and coats. Where there used to be a wide range of shapes and sizes available, the current selection is often limited — especially for tailors who work in custom tailoring.
Want to adjust a shoulder pad? Fortunately, modifying a shoulder pad or sleeve head is not complicated at all. With our special polyester felt‑fleece, you can easily adjust shoulder pads and sleeve heads yourself so they perfectly match your design and fit. You can add an extra layer of felt‑fleece to an existing shoulder pad to increase its height or width, giving you full control over the final result
So order Polyester felt‑fleece to reshape your own shoulder pads and sleeve heads!
Sleeve and shoulder‑pad felt‑fleece – custom shaping for a perfect fit
Our polyester felt‑fleece is specially developed for modifying or adjusting shoulder pads and sleeve heads (also known as sleeve‑rolls). This material is light, flexible and easy to work with, giving you full control over the shape, thickness and height of your padding. By layering multiple pieces of felt‑fleece, you can create exactly the volume that suits your garment and your shoulders
Another advantage of polyester felt‑fleece for shoulder pads: it doesn’t fray

Also suitable as shoulder‑pad material for adjusting or creating your own shoulder pads or sleeve heads
In addition to our polyester felt‑fleece, you can also choose to add a volume‑fleece for extra thickness if your shoulder pad is too thin for your jacket or coat. In that case, we recommend the voluminous polyester volume‑fleece as the perfect complement to the felt‑fleece, because it provides additional volume without sacrificing flexibility
The polyester felt‑fleece is grey; if you want to create white shoulder pads, Thermolam is an excellent choice. It is very similar, but slightly thinner — approximately 1 mm. This material also works perfectly in combination with the polyester volume‑fleece
Prefer working with natural materials? Then try our soyamix or bamboomix volume‑fleeces. These are slightly thinner than the polyester felt‑fleece for shoulder pads, so you’ll need a few more layers to achieve the same volume. Both natural options offer a sustainable and eco‑friendly choice, ideal for anyone who values environmentally responsible tailoring
