Medium Lightweight with structure

Medium-light broadcloth loden with structure

Medium-light broadcloth loden or loden fabric with structure is suitable for projects where a dense, natural fabric is needed that is not as heavy as classic coat fabric. The structured surface can give a garment more depth and looks especially beautiful in historical garments, jackets, capes, cloaks or more robust pieces of clothing.

Depending on weight, handle and finish, this category can be interesting for modern tailoring as well as for reenactment, LARP and medieval-inspired clothing. Please always note the information on the respective product page, as weight, drape and material properties can differ from item to item.

Structured loden fabric: what is it suitable for?

Structured broadcloth and loden fabrics are especially suitable for jackets, light to medium-weight coats, cloaks, capes, overgarments, historical garments, uniform-inspired clothing and accessories. They are a good choice when the fabric should have visible character without appearing too heavy.

For projects with a lot of movement, a medium-light quality can be more comfortable than a heavy loden. For very warm winter coats or pieces that need more body, a heavier category may be more suitable.

Buying medium-light loden fabric: what to consider?

When buying medium-light loden fabric or structured broadcloth loden, you should consider the planned use. Should the fabric drape softly or have more body? Will it be used for historical clothing, a jacket, cloak, coat, cape or equipment? Weight, handle, colour, structure, width and care instructions are important.
