Wigan (fabric)

Wigan is a stiff cotton material[1] sometimes coated with latex rubber.[2][3] It is typically sold in bias-cut strips and used as an interfacing or interlining in tailoring to stabilize seams and hemlines. Its name has been derived from Wigan, the name of a former mill town in Greater Manchester (historically Lancashire), England.[4]
