Suede or Velvet?
So what’s the difference between a suede surface fabric and velvet? Printed suede is the same type of fabric you find on casino tables, it’s harder wearing and cleans up easier, should you have a spill on it. Printing also comes out ‘crisper’ on suede so any lines are sharper. Dark colours also come out much better on suede because unlike regular velvet that is dyed to colour it, with printed fabric it starts out white and the image and background colours are onto printed on it. So with the velvet having longer fibres than the suede, you sometimes see a hint of the white base through the printed colours. Not so much with lighter colours though and the velvet is still a very nice surface. So if you have a darker background and have an image with a lot of sharp lines on it and you want a harder wearing fabric, we’d recommend the suede, if you have a lighter image with less sharp lines, such as a photo and you want a nice feel to the fabric and are not too worried about how hard wearing it is, we’d recommend the velvet.
PropDog Ltd originally had a partnership with JM Authentics, to help Jordan produce some of his pads. But we’ve now gone our separate ways, purchasing a licensing agreement from Jordan to produce many of JM Authentic’s original range. A few years on and with new processes and technologies, PropDog are now the leading manufacturer of close up pads/mats in the world! Our stylish designs are expertly assembled onsite at the PropDog Workshop in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
Each PropDog Hard Back Pad is meticulously handcrafted to an extremely high standard and consists of a front and back board, the back board usually being made from leather, with the front being made from either suede or upholstery velvet.
The leather backing we use is eco friendly recycled hard wearing leather originally designed for the automotive industry, so it can take a lot of wear and tear. This is a high quality leather, not like the faux leather often used in alternative close up pads from other manufacturers.
The backing boards are precisely laser cut to ensure exact dimensions, perfectly rounded corners and a perfect, snug fit of the two surfaces. The edges of the pads are gently bevelled to ensure a comfortable edge to lean on and maximum durability. With a non bevelled edge, wear and tear can occur over time with repeated pressure on a sharp 90 degree edge.
We use the finest wadding available to give a smooth, even and comfortable surface to work on, with just the right level of firmness to for card play. For the coin workers out there who want a little extra wadding for a softer pad, no problem! We can make the pads as soft or had as you want, just ask.
When it comes to fabric, with purchased thousands of samples and made hundreds of pads to find just the right velvet and suede with just the right feel, softness, nap and friction.
Our standard pads come in three sizes:
But we can make any size pad you need, in any shape, with any size corners, any thickness with any surface fabric. Just visit our custom section here: www.propdog.co.uk/PropDog-Custom-Close-Up-Pads
