Synthetic Whalebone | 4.5mm
Inspired by historical materials, our Synthetic āWhaleboneā is a modern alternative to traditional baleen, the keratin-based material once harvested from baleen whales and widely used in 18th- and 19th-century stays and corsets. Designed specifically for the corsetry market and manufactured in Germany, this high-quality synthetic boning mimics the strength, flexibility, and moldability of authentic whalebone more closely than typical plastic boning.
At 4.5mm wide (just under 3/16ā), this boning is slightly narrower than the common 6mm size, making it ideal for finer, more detailed work or lightweight historical reproductions. It can be gently shaped with a hot iron, allowing for custom curves and historical accuracy in shaping.
Perfect for use in:
ā¢ Early to late 18th-century stays
ā¢ 19th-century corsetry
ā¢ Early 20th-century structured garments
Whether youāre working on historical costuming, theatrical wardrobe, or modern corsetry, our 4.5mm Synthetic āWhaleboneā offers excellent versatility and authenticity.
