Stirling Grey Wool Loden

The Stirling Grey Wool Loden fabric is a classic, characterful winter fabric, characterised by an elegant Scottish tartan design in shades of grey, black, mustard yellow and maroon. Its pattern combines a dark grey base with bold yellow lines and fine maroon details, creating a tartan with great visual impact and a clear British inspiration.

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 Stirling Grey design stands out particularly for the contrast between the anthracite grey and black and the mustard yellow lines, which brighten and structure the checks. The subtle maroon details add depth to the overall look, resulting in an original and sophisticated fabric, perfect for garments in a British, tailored, classic or contemporary style.

Suggested uses: coats, jackets, blazers, overshirts, capes, waistcoats, skirts, winter dresses, trousers, bags, hats and other fashion accessories.

Sewing tip: when working with tartan with a defined pattern size, it is advisable to allow for slightly more fabric to ensure the printed pattern matches up correctly. Use the yellow lines as your main guide when placing the sewing pattern and try to match the sewing pattern on the front panels, side panels, sleeves and pockets. Carry out a test ironing beforehand and preferably use a protective cloth to protect the finish of the wool.
