🎱 Here’s to one of the most storied names in the world of billiards — Iwan Simonis, founded way back in 1680 in Verviers, Belgium, making it one of the oldest companies on the planet still in operation today! ✨ Over the centuries, Simonis perfected the art of worsted wool cloth weaving, and their billiard cloth became the undisputed global standard for professional pool, snooker, and carom billiards — proudly used at every major world championship, from the iconic Crucible to the greatest pool halls across the globe. 🏆 For players at the highest level, the consistency and speed of the cloth is everything: a surface that plays true, fast, and predictable is what separates a flawless century break from a near miss — and nobody does that better than Simonis. What makes this brand truly remarkable is that after an incredible 346 years, it remains family-managed, a living testament to Belgian craftsmanship, passion, and dedication to the game. 💚 Here’s to the cloth that perfected billiards!
