Medium Lightweight

Medium-weight broadcloth for clothing, coats and cloaks

Medium-weight broadcloth combines a beautiful drape with robust everyday suitability. This makes it especially versatile: it can be used for dresses, skirts, tunics, doublets, jackets, light coats, cloaks, capes, uniform parts and historical garments.

Compared with very light qualities, medium-weight broadcloth offers more substance and body. Compared with heavy loden fabrics, it remains more flexible and less bulky. This is exactly why it is suitable for many projects where warmth, drape and durability should be well balanced.

Medium-weight loden fabric for uniforms and Landsknecht clothing

Medium-weight broadcloth is especially interesting for uniforms, historical clothing and Landsknecht representations. It has a high-quality appearance, can be used in many ways and, depending on the cut, can look either calm or expressive.

This fabric quality can be particularly useful for slashed garments. Slashes usually hold in this quality without hemming. However, the result always depends on the cut, the strain and the workmanship.

Buying medium-weight broadcloth: what to consider?

If you would like to buy medium-weight broadcloth or medium-weight loden fabric by the metre, pay attention to colour, weight, handle, drape and the intended use. A light coat or cloak requires a different amount of fabric than a doublet, tunic, skirt or uniform part.
