About this fabric

Woven in 100% wool, this fabric has the reassuring body and matte finish you expect from a classic wool cloth. The plaid is set on a grey charcoal base, with narrow cream lines and deeper brown-grey crosses that give the design a subtle depth from across the room. Its repeat is approximately V 28cm and H 25cm, and the 152cm width offers good usability for larger furnishing projects. The overall effect is smart and understated, with the check reading more like a tailored menswear cloth than a bold tartan.

How to use it

Use it on an armchair, bench or cushions where the charcoal check can add structure without overpowering the scheme. It works especially well with oak, aged brass and softer neutrals, where the cooler grey ground helps anchor the room.

A restrained charcoal check that brings quiet structure to tailored interiors.

Pairs well with

Nevis Plaid Charcoal 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.
