Its understated pattern makes it ideal for kilts, jackets, scarves, and accessories, as well as versatile interior projects, offering timeless style without ostentation.

Drape: Soft and malleable drape, reassuringly weighty when used at length.

Naturally, it is also perfect for traditional Scottish attire such as kilts, scarves, and ties.
