N°632 Fil Au Chinois waxed cable linen thread has a diametre of 0.51 mm. Each spool contains 50 grammes, which is approximately 288 metres of thread. This thread is perfect for high-end leather goods, including bags, satchels, belts, watch straps, and other leather accessories.

As with all lin câblé, this thread is treated with a bath of starch and beeswax, giving it a smooth, glossy finish and a slight stiffness. However, it is important to distinguish between the terms used to describe threads:

  • Glazed thread: treated with starch and beeswax to make it smooth and glossy.
  • Waxed thread: manually rubbed with a block of wax immediately before use.
  • Tarred thread: soaked in a mixture of beeswax and pine resin for extra durability.
