Edinburgh Navy Wool Loden

The Edinburgh Navy Wool Loden Fabric is a warm, distinctly British-inspired fabric, featuring an elegant Scottish tartan design on a navy blue background. Its printed pattern combines lines and checks in red, dark green, blue, yellow and white, creating a classic tartan in which the vibrant colours contrast elegantly against the dark background.

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 Navy design stands out particularly for its deep navy blue background, which lends a sense of sophistication and highlights the red lines and multicoloured details of the tartan. A timeless combination with plenty of character, 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 woollen cloth to preserve the finish of the wool.
