What is this stretch gabardine fabric

This fabric is a mix of polyester, viscose and elastane, woven in a fine twill that you'll often see in gabardine qualities. Thanks to the elastane content, there's a gentle stretch across the width of the fabric, so garments move with you without the tartan pattern losing its crispness. The viscose provides a soft, breathable finish, while polyester gives the fabric body and wrinkle recovery. The result is a medium weight fabric with a lovely, natural drape, suited to autumn and winter projects where you want both warmth and wearing comfort.

Uses and Projects

This Scottish tartan fabric is a true classic for garments that call for structure and tradition, yet the stretch makes them comfortable to wear too. The small check makes it particularly good for detailed sewing work where pattern matching matters.

• Blazers and jackets with a timeless look
• Skirts and dresses in classic tartan style
• Trousers with a neat, polished silhouette
• Uniforms for school or work
• Choir wear and guild clothing where recognition and comfort go hand in hand
• Kilts and traditional Scottish garments
• Coats for the cooler months
• Accessories like scarves or bow ties for special occasions

For choir wear and guild clothing especially, this fabric is an excellent choice. The gentle stretch across the width means clothing stays comfortable during long services or parades, while the classic tartan pattern keeps the presence and recognition you need. The sturdy quality looks smart and holds its shape, even with regular use throughout the season.
