Brushed Cotton Shirting Fabric - Northwood Plaid

This fine brushed cotton twill features a classic plaid in navy blue with red and pale blue accents. The fabric is finely brushed on one side, creating a soft, subtle texture while maintaining a smooth finish on the reverse. It's exceptionally lightweight, making it perfect for projects where you want a hint of warmth without any bulk.

The plaid pattern uses a traditional windowpane check design with crisp lines in varying widths. The navy base is punctuated by bright red and clean pale blue, creating a timeless colour combination that works well for both casual and smart-casual makes. The twill weave gives the fabric a subtle diagonal texture and adds durability.

Being 100% cotton, this fabric is naturally breathable and comfortable to wear. The fine brushing is delicate rather than fluffy, giving just enough softness to feel cozy against the skin while keeping the fabric lightweight and drapey. The twill construction also means it's less prone to wrinkling than plain weave cottons.

This fabric is ideal for lightweight shirts, blouses, dresses, children's clothing, and layering pieces. It's also perfect for scarves, lightweight pyjamas, or projects where you want the look of flannel with a finer, more refined feel. The navy-red-white palette makes it particularly versatile for coordinating with other pieces.
