*As well as the formats indicated above, the following are possible: E25/2/1. This variant should normally be queried before manufacture, as it tends to produce a stiff, unwieldy edge on plain fabrics (E25/2/2 or E20/2/2 on plain fabrics (i.e. not mesh) should also be queried).
Any width of edge reinforcement can usually be accommodated (between 6mm and 100mm), however standard widths of 20mm and 25mm are usually more than sufficient for most applications.
