Jacquard fabrics are a major part of our repertoire here at Fabric Selection – and that matters as the weather gets warmer. Many of us associate summer with good times; it’s also a time when people want to look their best while they’re relaxing or vacationing. And that’s where Jacquard fabrics come in!

Since the late 18th century, Jacquard looms have been helping fashionistas and regular folk alike look their best by wearing some of the world’s most beautiful and highly detailed clothing patterns. High-value fabrics by the yard from our site are a great place to start.

 

What is Jacquard? Who Was Jacquard?

Joseph Marie Jacquard was an inventor and clothesmaker of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He patented his epochal Jacquard loom in the year 1804. By the standards of the middle period of the Industrial Revolution, it was beyond revolutionary  – far more than its inventor could have understood.

The loom was based on a punch card system that selected threads to quickly create complex patterns far faster than had ever been possible. It eventually became the model of the earliest computer punch cards that were an essential part of computing before the development of digital magnetic tape and disc drives.

What Jacquard Means Now

While high-tech certainly has its place in today’s fashion world, older technology still has a place and so Jacquard looms are widely used to create imaginative and eye-catching patterns. Whether you’re a budding professional fashionista or a DIY enthusiast, Fabric Selection offers an array of options to make the most fun, attractive, and comfortable summer wear you can imagine.
