Red Edinburgh Wool Loden

The Edinburgh Red Wool Loden fabric is a warm, distinctly British-inspired fabric, featuring a classic Scottish tartan design on a deep red background. The pattern combines lines in dark green, navy blue, yellow, white and black, creating a traditional tartan with visual impact and plenty of character.

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 size for various autumn and winter fashion and garment-making projects.

The Edinburgh Red design stands out for its vibrant red background, against which a pattern of dark lines and small multicoloured details is woven. Its aesthetic is reminiscent of traditional Scottish tartan fabrics, making it perfect for garments with a distinct British, preppy, classic or country-inspired style.

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 sewing 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, side panels, sleeves and pockets. Carry out a test ironing beforehand and preferably use a protective cloth to preserve the finish of the wool.
