Scruffers - the Costume Breakdown staple

Our Scruffers are the main tool we use and have been using them for decades. They are small but mighty. Extremely sharp and extremely versatile, our scruffers can get the job done in a matter of seconds. 

We use a sole ruffer or Scruffer for almost every single breakdown, ageing and distressing job that we take on. You can use it just for a subtle collar on a shirt, or go all out on a big pair of curtains for Set Dec.

It's a wonderful tool that's much more effective than a cheese grater and will easily fit in your bag.

Costume breakdown is usually a job that's fairly last minute if you're on set. A lot of the time the ageing doesn't quite look right on camera and you'll be very glad you have on of these on you!
