Barbour Scotland 130GSM 40s twill stretch color weave large plaid fabric for Coat and Jacket, Outdoor Jacket

Product Overview

This make-to-order 130GSM plaid fabric combines a 40s twill construction, a large color-woven check, and source-described stretch. It is principally positioned for coats, jackets, and outdoor-style jackets. The product page also lists dresses and skirts as potential secondary applications.

The large plaid creates a bold, recognizable surface for statement outerwear and coordinated fashion programs. Product photographs show a tan or beige ground crossed by black, white, and red lines; other colors can be developed according to customer requirements.

The existing product information describes the fabric as lightweight, comfortable, durable, flexible, easy to maintain, and resistant to wrinkles and creases. No quantified performance results are published, so buyers should approve the final composition, stretch, finish, color, and performance through samples and application-specific testing.

Product Specifications

Material, Construction, Appearance, and Hand Feel

Lightweight 40s Twill Construction

The stated 130GSM weight places this fabric in a relatively lightweight range for jacket and coat development. It can support lightweight outerwear, transitional pieces, overshirt-style jackets, and fashion layers, but it should not be treated as an insulating cold-weather fabric without an appropriate lining or additional garment construction.

The 40s twill construction gives the surface a visible diagonal woven character. The existing page describes this construction as strong and durable while remaining comfortable for extended wear. Exact tensile, tear, abrasion, seam-slippage, and pilling results are not provided, so required performance levels should be communicated before sampling.

Large Color-Woven Plaid Appearance

The large plaid uses broad black, white, and tan/beige bands with narrower red accent lines in the displayed colorway. The scale produces a bold outerwear appearance and adds visual depth when the fabric is folded, gathered, or shaped around a garment.

Because prominent plaids require alignment across seams and adjoining panels, buyers should allow for pattern matching when calculating fabric consumption. The approved sample should establish the exact plaid repeat, orientation, face side, shade, and placement standard.

Stretch and Mobility

The source describes the fabric as stretchable and able to support mobility and flexibility. However, it does not publish the stretch direction, percentage, recovery rate, or test method. These details are important for sleeve movement, fitted silhouettes, seam selection, and dimensional stability.

Before bulk production, request a representative sample and test the fabric in the intended garment construction. Do not assume four-way stretch solely from the website category classification.

Source-Described Care Performance

The existing product page describes the fabric as machine washable, suitable for tumble drying, and resistant to wrinkles and creases. Final care instructions must nevertheless be validated against the confirmed fiber composition, dyeing method, finish, interlining, trims, and complete garment construction. Buyers should conduct wash, shrinkage, colorfastness, appearance-retention, and dimensional-stability testing before issuing a consumer care label.

Key Product Features

• Distinctive large plaid: Suitable for fashion programs that require a strong, recognizable check rather than a small or subtle pattern.
• 130GSM construction: Supports lightweight outerwear and transitional apparel without the bulk of a heavy coating fabric.
• Source-described stretch: Intended to provide greater freedom of movement than a fully rigid woven fabric.
• Make-to-order colors: The plaid can be developed in customer-requested colors, subject to lab-dip, strike-off, or sample approval.
• Commercial development support: Free A4 reference samples, lab dips, approval samples, OEM service, and logo customization are described on the existing page, subject to the applicable project requirements.

Detailed Applications and Use Cases

Lightweight Coats and Jackets

Coats and jackets are the primary stated applications. At 130GSM, the fabric is better suited to lightweight fashion coats, transitional jackets, unlined or lightly lined outerwear, and layered designs than to heavy winter coats.

The plaid can provide the main visual identity of the garment, while the twill construction and source-described durability support everyday fashion use. Designers should evaluate whether a lining, interlining, facing, or reinforcement is needed for the intended structure and price segment.

Large checks require careful matching at center fronts, side seams, sleeves, pockets, yokes, collars, and plackets. Marker planning should include the additional consumption required for balanced pattern placement.

Outdoor-Style Fashion Jackets

The product is promoted for outdoor jackets because of its source-described durability, lightweight construction, and stretch-supported mobility. It may suit outdoor-inspired fashion jackets, travel layers, casual utility silhouettes, and lifestyle outerwear.

No waterproof, water-repellent, windproof, breathable-membrane, abrasion-grade, or weather-resistance test result is stated. Buyers developing technical outdoor apparel should specify the required performance standard and confirm whether an additional coating, lamination, backing, or finishing process is feasible. Any optional finish must be sampled and quoted separately rather than treated as a standard product feature.

Dresses

Dresses are listed in the product tags and should be treated as a secondary, sample-dependent application. The 130GSM weight and stretch may support shirt dresses, structured casual dresses, belted silhouettes, and other designs where a visible large plaid is part of the concept.

Before approval, evaluate drape, opacity, recovery, surface comfort, and the behavior of the check around darts, gathers, curved seams, and fitted areas. Lining requirements will depend on the final composition, colorway, garment silhouette, and target market.

Skirts

The large plaid can be used for straight, A-line, pleated, or casual wrap-style skirts when the approved sample provides the required structure and recovery. The check can emphasize pleats and panel construction, but inaccurate alignment will be visually obvious.

Buyers should test recovery at the seat and waist, determine whether a lining is required, and approve the position of prominent plaid lines before bulk cutting. Pattern repeat and matching allowances should be included in consumption calculations.

Design and Manufacturing Considerations

• Confirm the missing technical data: Obtain the exact fiber composition, finished width, usable width, stretch direction, stretch percentage, recovery, shrinkage, and plaid repeat before final costing.
• Approve color and pattern: Use a lab dip, plaid strike-off, cutting, or approval sample to establish shade, line placement, repeat, and colorfastness expectations.
• Plan pattern matching: Large plaids normally require additional fabric and more controlled cutting than solid fabrics.
• Choose sewing parameters by testing: Needle, thread, seam type, stitch density, edge finish, and pressing temperature should be selected after reviewing the confirmed composition and production sample.
• Evaluate lining and reinforcement: Lightweight coats and jackets may require lining, interlining, pocket reinforcement, or stabilized openings depending on the silhouette.
• Test stretch recovery: Confirm that seams and garment panels recover adequately after extension and repeated wear.
• Validate care instructions: Do not release machine-wash or tumble-dry care labeling until the bulk-equivalent fabric and complete garment have passed the buyer’s required testing.
• Specify functional finishes separately: If water repellency, wind resistance, bonding, coating, or lamination is required, communicate it before sampling and quotation.

Customization, Sampling, and Bulk Ordering

Color and OEM Options

The fabric is supplied on a make-to-order basis. Colors can be developed according to customer requirements. The existing FAQ also states that OEM service is available and that a buyer’s logo can be customized depending on the request. Feasibility, method, MOQ, ownership of artwork, and additional cost should be confirmed for each program.

Samples and Lab Dips

• A free A4 reference sample is available according to the existing page. Courier charges are not specified and should be confirmed.
• Normal lab-dip time: 3–5 days.
• Approval-sample time for a plain color: 7–10 days.
• Sample payments are shown as available through Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal.

For a large color-woven plaid, buyers should confirm whether development will use a lab dip, yarn-color approval, plaid strike-off, or finished-fabric sample.

Bulk Lead Time

The source contains two different production-time statements:

• The commercial table states normally 15–25 days after the down payment is ready and the lab dip is confirmed, with the exact lead time depending on the order.
• The existing FAQ states 3–20 days for mass production.

Because these ranges conflict, the applicable schedule must be confirmed in the quotation based on the final specification, color development, quantity, production route, and approval date.

Production Capacity

The existing FAQ states that monthly production capacity has reached more than 3 million meters through advanced equipment and efficient teamwork. Capacity allocation and the delivery schedule for a specific order should be reconfirmed when the order is placed.

Pricing

The final price depends on the required functions or specifications. The FAQ also states that pricing is determined according to quantity and quality, with larger quantities receiving more favorable pricing. The source describes the online unit price as divided into three quantity-related parts but does not publish the actual brackets. Request a current quotation for the approved specification and quantity.

Payment Terms

The product page provides the following terms:

• General terms: T/T or L/C at sight, with other arrangements negotiable in advance.
• For first-time clients: typically 30% down payment and 70% before shipping by T/T.
• For repeat clients: L/C may be considered.
• Other payment terms may be negotiated.

The final payment arrangement should be confirmed in the pro forma invoice or sales contract.

Shipping and Packaging

The page lists express delivery and sea freight as shipping methods. The appropriate method will depend on whether the shipment is a sample or bulk order, as well as the destination, volume, urgency, and buyer’s trade terms.

Standard roll length, inner tube, polybag, woven-bag, bale, carton, labeling, and other packaging details are not published. Confirm packaging requirements before quotation.

Unit Conversion and Factory Visit

• 1 yard = 0.9144 meter.
• Factory visits are welcomed. The existing FAQ states that airport or station pickup can also be arranged.
