Specialty Fabrics Review Celebrates 110-Year Anniversary

Specialty Fabrics Review magazine has supported its readers and business association members through textile industry challenges for 110 years.

The magazine has evolved over the past century, adapting to changes in the industry. It began in November 1915 as The National Tent & Awning Manufacturers Review and expanded to cover a wider range of products as new materials and technologies emerged.

The publication underwent several name changes, becoming The National Canvas Goods Manufacturer’s Review in 1924, Canvas Products Review in 1958, Industrial Fabric Products Review in 1966, and finally Specialty Fabrics Review in 2008. The name changes reflect the growing diversity of the industry and the association's membership, including an increasing number of Canadian members.

The magazine has steadily become more inclusive of a wider range of products as new materials, finishing treatments and niche products were invented over the ensuing decades.

Today, the magazine is available in print and digital formats, catering to the evolving needs of its readers.
