Description
Bold royal blue and black checks crossed with fine canary-yellow lines give this British-made tartan a wonderfully striking appearance. Woven with a defined twill texture, the cloth has a smooth yet substantial handle, with enough body to hold its shape while still draping beautifully. At approximately 255gsm, it is an excellent mediumweight suiting fabric with a smart, tailored finish.
There is something rather fabulous about this colour combination. The electric blue makes a statement, the black keeps it grounded, and those yellow lines add just the right amount of contrast. Perfect for tailored jackets, smart trousers, waistcoats, structured skirts and statement dresses. It would also make a particularly handsome pair of golf trousers, if you're feeling adventurous on the fairway.

Care & washing
Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.
Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
