Fabric Focus: Tweed

Tweed fabric

Tweed is a distinct woolen texture that has a tight weave structure and is durable. Tweed is a thick, heavy fabric that provides excellent insulation against cold weather. Despite its warmth, tweed is a breathable fabric that allows air to circulate, preventing overheating. Some types of tweed are naturally water-resistant due to the oils in the wool fibres.


Tweed is traditionally associated with Scottish and Irish heritage and is characterised by its twill weave and often features a mix of colours, creating a heathered or speckled effect.


Tweed fabric is traditionally made from 100% wool, although blends with other fibres are becoming increasingly common.


Tweed is valued for its warmth, water resistance, and classic aesthetic, making it a popular choice for outdoor and country wear.
