Broadcloth is a dense, plain woven cloth, historically made of wool. Today, most broadcloth is cotton or a cotton blend.roadcloth (Flemish Laken) was first produced in Flanders from the 11th century and throughout the medieval period. After 1400 Leiden in Holland became the most important place for broadcloth industry in Europe.
The defining characteristic of Broadcloth is not its finished width, but the fact that it was woven much wider (typically 50 - 75% wider than its finished width) and then heavily milled (traditionally the cloth was worked by heavy wooden trip hammers in hot soapy water in order to shrink it) in order to reduce it to the required width.
