Borthwick Dress Tartan Fabric by the Yard – 16oz Acrylic Wool

Borthwick Dress is the lighter, formal variant of the historic Clan Borthwick tartan — a clan with roots tracing back to the 12th century. The dress version swaps in a lighter tone in place of the standard grey, giving it a crisper, more ceremonial look suited to formal Highland dress.

Woven from 16oz acrylic wool, this fabric holds its pattern and color through regular wear while remaining machine washable — far easier to care for than pure wool without losing the authentic tartan drape. Sold by the yard at approximately 54 inches wide, it's suited to kilts, sashes, waistcoats, ties, and other Highland accessories, as well as home décor and general sewing or craft work.

Whether you're building a full Borthwick outfit, honoring your clan heritage, or working on a custom formal piece, this Borthwick Dress tartan fabric offers genuine Scottish character with everyday practicality.
