A professional-grade wide elastic designed to be seen as well as felt.

This 50mm wide black elastic features a soft plush backing for comfort against the skin and a smooth sheen faceintended to be worn visibly. Slim and flexible despite its width, it offers excellent stretch and recovery without bulk, making it ideal for both lingerie and sportswear applications.

Widely used as a bra band elastic (as featured in our Loftus Celtic 2 kits), 

it also performs beautifully as a waistband for boxer shorts, leggings and other close-fitting garments where comfort and durability matter.

Manufactured in the UK to a professional standard, this elastic is reliable, long-lasting and a pleasure to sew with.
