Winter and tweed fabric for men’s suits

#TeachingsTuesdays

Though initially found in Scotland in the 18th century to keep outdoor workers warmer and insulated, tweed is now a luxury fabric. It is similar to woolen fabric and made of animal fibers. The only difference between wool and tweed is that these tweed fabrics have tight weaves with specific patterns, like twill, herringbone, harris, and checks. 

Most importantly, no particular weave type or weight exists to define a tweed fabric. Instead, there are varied weights and weave types.
