Etymology

The word 'buckram' has its origins in Middle English, derived from the Old French 'bourgami', which referred to a kind of coarse cloth. Its usage can be traced back to the 14th century when it was primarily used to describe a fabric that was stiffened or treated for durability. The term has undergone various adaptations over time, reflecting changes in textile manufacturing and uses. Traditionally, buckram was made from horsehair and was used in a variety of applications, including clothing, bookbinding, and as support material in various crafts. In contemporary usage, buckram typically refers to a cotton or linen fabric that has been starched or treated for added firmness, making it popular in book production and hat-making. The development and innovation in fabric technology have allowed for variations of buckram that offer different degrees of stiffness and durability, catering to diverse consumer and industrial needs.
