Erskine Plaid Old Blue

Erskine Plaid Old Blue is a quietly tailored tartan with a washed, cloudy blue ground softened by cream and warm rust checks. The wool surface gives the pattern a dry, gently melange look rather than a crisp, glossy finish.

About this fabric
Woven in 100% wool, this Erskine Wools fabric has a substantial, classic feel that suits both upholstery and drapery. The plaid repeats at approximately V 24cm / H 21cm, creating a measured check that reads orderly and country-house smart. In this colourway, the blue ground is cool and muted, while the cream lines and cinnamon-brown overchecks add warmth and definition. The 151cm approximate width makes it practical for larger pieces, and the overall effect is calm, heritage-led, and understated.
How to use it
Use it on an armchair, bench cushion, or full-length curtains where the soft old blue can settle into a pale, timber-filled room. It pairs especially well with aged oak, brushed linen, and muted rust or taupe accents.
A restrained tartan that works beautifully across tailored upholstery or classic curtains.

Erskine Plaid Old Blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it
Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
