Mid‑width braided elastic formulated to resist chlorine and bleach for long‑wearing stretch. At 13 mm × 1.5 m (1/2 in × 1.6 yd), it’s sized for trunks, skirts, and leisurewear waistbands. The comfortable construction keeps its recovery when sewn through or used in a casing, even after repeated laundering. Compatible with most household sewing machines and hand‑sewing methods; cut to length as required and secure with backstitching or bar tacks for durability.
