Fabrics & Materials II
Tweed is a coarse, durable woolen fabric with a dense, slightly rough surface flecked with multiple colors, traditionally woven in herringbone, houndstooth, or check patterns. Warm, weatherproof, and long-lasting, it originated in Scotland and Ireland and remains a heritage material for jackets, blazers, coats, and skirts.
The mottled, multi-tone look comes from blending differently dyed wool fibers before weaving, giving tweed its rich depth and rustic character. Classic types include Harris Tweed and Donegal.
Tweed is closely tied to herringbone and houndstooth weaves and anchors old money, preppy, and dark academia tailoring.
