Edinburgh Ivory Wool Loden

The Edinburgh Ivory Wool Loden fabric is a warm, distinctly British-inspired fabric, featuring an elegant Scottish tartan design on an unbleached background. Its pattern combines lines in dark green, red, navy blue, yellow and black, creating a classic, vibrant tartan in which the light background takes centre stage.

Its composition of 60% wool and 40% polyester combines the warmth and characteristic look of wool with the durability and stability provided by polyester. It has a width of 150 cm, a highly versatile measurement for various autumn and winter fashion and garment-making projects.

The Edinburgh Ivory design stands out for its unbleached base, which adds brightness and visually softens the traditional Scottish tartan. The contrast with the green, red and navy blue lines results in an elegant fabric full of personality, perfect for garments with a British, classic, preppy or country-inspired aesthetic.

Ideas for use: coats, jackets, blazers, overshirts, capes, waistcoats, skirts, winter dresses, trousers, bags, hats and other fashion accessories.

Sewing tip: when working with tartan, it’s best to allow for a little extra fabric to ensure the printed pattern matches up correctly. Place all pattern pieces in the same direction and use the main lines of the tartan as a guide to ensure the pattern matches on the front panels, sides, sleeves and pockets. Carry out a test ironing beforehand and preferably use a protective cloth to preserve the finish of the wool.
