Abraham Moon Worsted Tartan Suit Fabric

Woven in worsted rather than woollen yarn, which changes what a tartan can do. The fibers are combed to lie parallel before spinning, so the cloth finishes compact and the pattern holds a hard edge — every line in a sett sits exactly where the weaver placed it, with none of the softening you get from a brushed woollen. The range runs from the full-saturation clan setts through to the dress tartans woven on a white ground, and includes muted and antique colorways where the same sett is taken down into faded blues, camels and slate. Royal Stewart, Black Watch, Dress Gordon, Dress Stewart, Hunting Stewart, Mackenzie, Mackinlay, Lindsay, John Thomas and Camel Stewart among them.

At 260 grams this is the lighter end of tartan, which is the difference between wearing one and carrying one. It cuts as a full suit without the bulk that makes heavy tartan read as costume, works in a warm room through a long evening, and takes a jacket-and-plain-trouser pairing for anyone who wants the pattern in a smaller dose. Drafted to your proportions and made entirely by hand by one master tailor, for clients of all gender identities.
