Dritz 562 Wool Tailor's Ham, 1 Count (Pack of 1), Brown

This tailor’s ham is well made and durable. The firmness holds up under heat and steam, making pressing more precise than using a flat surface. A perfect tool for garment sewing and tailoring projects.

This does the job really well, I’m very happy with my purchase. Sometimes I wish it were a bit bigger but I know there are other products for that out there.

I've had this in my wish list for a while and finally purchased it. I haven't used mine yet but had used a friend's some years ago. They're a great addition to the sewing room, ironing routine and general crafting. Just be mindful that each side is used for different temperature settings. The one I received is well made and I look forward to using it for whatever creativity my mind comes up with.

Good quality as usual.

I was already familiar with this particular tailor ham as a friend has one. I like the size and shape, and the materials are fine for me. I didn't experience any problem with the fabric melting or anything. I don't know what the deal is with this one, but it smelled like mildew right out of the package. I have stuffed it in a bag with some moisture absorber packs and hope that helps to pull the smell out. Since it is stuffed with sawdust, there isn't anything you can do to wash it. I didn't really see where anyone else had this problem, so maybe it is a fluke for me? I will give it some time and update if it airs out okay. As for the cancer warning on the label, it is because it is full of sawdust (and not cancerous chemical soaked sawdust, plain non chemically treated sawdust). Apparently, inhaling plain sawdust (as in if you cut wood and breathe in that air) can cause cancer. You are not breathing in this sawdust (it is fully enclosed) but it doesn't make any difference to the California cancer warning. So if you don't cut it open, throw it in the air, and inhale it all, you will be fine. Update: After leaving it in a bag with some moisture absorber packs, the smell is pretty well gone. I spritzed some febreeze on there and it smells nice now so I moved it up to four stars. Annoying, but glad it worked. I don't know why the manufacturer doesn't ship it with something to absorb odors and moisture.

Good product. Small size is perfect for those shoulder seams. It is made well.

As a longterm sewer and craftsmaker, I have a 50 year old taylors "ham". I was nervous about ordering online without seeing and feeling the quality. Dritz is a well known name in sewing products. They have stayed true to the quality! Impressive. I do recommend and appreciate the great price point. Thanks!

I had been putting off ordering this item for too long. I needed it for my sewing projects. Dritz maks a pretty good one and I had been borrowing my mom's (which is also Dritz brand). Weirdly, my DH had to sign his signature before the Amazon deliver driver handed it over. Must be a much stolen item as I can think of no other reason to need to sign your signiture for a tailor's ham XD

Bonne forme et bonne fermeté, mis le tissu rouge utilisé pour un côté est synthétique et fond sous la semelle du fer : à demi utilisable quoi !

excelente calidad

It’s a ham....works like it’s supposed to, it’s solid and well made.

Ha cominciato a puzzare di muffa dopo un solo utilizzo. Ho salvato il salvabile per evitare un reso usando olio essenziale di tea tree e lavanda (anti muffa) e lasciandolo all'aria per qualche giorno. Onestamente non mi sento di consigliare quest'articolo, ma l'oggetto in sé è importante per ogni sarta.

So useful for pressing whilst sewing. Recommended!
