A classic weaving technique in which pattern and color are woven directly into the textile with a visible reverse pattern is known as jacquard. In 1801, Joseph Marie Jacquard invented the jacquard loom, simplifying the method for producing complex, consistent textiles. Offering a maximum width of 100 inches, our loom features an attachment of punch cards that correspond to textile patterns, controlling which warp threads are raised so the weft thread can be hand passed under them. By incorporating the use of a jacquard loom, Hartmann&Forbes can now realize a broader range of looks, including the graphic and creative designs of the new Max Humphrey collection.
