Tweed from Great Britain

Tweed is a woolen fabric, of a soft, flexible texture with small nap, usually woven with a twill (diagonal) structure. There are blended melange fabric or fabric with fancy yarn. Jackets, trousers and headdresses for men are sewed from this fabric as well as costumes, women’s dresses and skirts.

Tweed is a traditional English material, a woolen melange fabric from thick untwisted yarn. Warm and soft, fetching and durable, modern and in the meantime traditional it suits perfectly for chilly and rainy weather of Foggy Albion. Tweed’s attraction is in its exciting colourings. They are possible because of mixing of freshly painted wool in some pure colours. The yarn in the warp can be bound in six colours, what gives the material a special relief.

A genuine tweed suit is heavy, rough and hard therefore it resists very good cold winds, rain, dank fog and even frost. Continental tweed suits in European style are softer and plainer; they can have elbow pads from hard leather, leather buttons and sometimes a lining at the full length of trousers to protect legs from touch with prickly wool. Modern cut of the tweed suit is also very different from the original British style because the true tweed suit has three buttons, a slit from the rear of the jacket, pockets cut out skew, tight trousers without a lining and without gathers. Usual material is rough greeny-brown pane checked tweed. Truly speaking it reminds of a carpet by touch but it is thick like a carpet and, consequently, hardly let wind or moisture in.

Tweed suits can be worn both outside and inside. With ever increasing frequency men, who are obliged to wear a formal suit, choose a little modified variants of the original tweed suit. These days tweed is preferred by professors, creative thinkers and free artists.
