Abstract: A method for padding double cloths includes the steps of preparing a blank made of double cloth, preferably shaped like a portion of an item of clothing, the double cloth having at least two layers of cloth which are mutually joined by way of a two-dimensional distribution of connecting threads. The method further includes separating the two layers of cloth starting from at least one edge region of the blank and for an extent that substantially corresponds to a region to be padded of the partially processed item; and interposing a bag of feathers or down between the two layers of cloth at the region to be padded; and then closing the at least one edge region.
