Choose fabric with confidence.

Begin with the finished piece
Choose by purpose,
then by pattern.
The right cloth depends on how the finished piece should feel, hang and wear. Start with function before choosing a tartan or tweed.

Ask about tweed availabilityBefore you decide
Read the cloth,
not only its name.
Every product page should give you the practical facts needed to judge suitability. If a detail essential to your project is missing, ask us before ordering.
Ask about a fabric- 01Composition
- The fibres used in the cloth and the handle they help create.
- 02Weight
- How light, fluid or substantial the fabric will feel.
- 03Usable width
- The working width available from edge to edge.
- 04Pattern scale
- The size of the tartan sett or tweed pattern in the finished piece.
- 05Availability
- Whether the cloth is ready to order or needs confirmation.
- 06Care
- The cleaning, pressing and handling guidance for that cloth.
Planning the cut
Ordering fabric
by the yard.
Fabric is sold in whole yards, subject to the minimum quantity shown on each product page. Measure the project first, then build in the allowances that turn a simple length into a well-planned cut.
- 01
Calculate the finished piece
Begin with the final garment or project dimensions, not an estimate based only on its name.
- 02
Allow for construction
Include seams, hems, pleats, pattern matching and the cutting plan recommended by your maker.
- 03
Confirm continuous length
If the project requires one uncut piece, ask us to confirm availability before placing the order.
See it in your own light
When colour or texture matters, ask about samples.
Screen settings and lighting can change how colour appears. A sample lets you assess colour, pattern scale, texture and weight in person before committing to a larger length.
Ask about sample availabilityA final moment of care
Before placing
your order.
- Confirm the fabric suits its intended use.
- Review composition, weight, width and care.
- Have the required length calculated where appropriate.
- Allow for matching, seams, hems and pleats.
- Order a sample if colour, scale or texture is critical.
- Confirm availability when one continuous length is essential.
