At full speed
Let’s cut to it —this jacket's got the potential to become your wardrobe's statement piece. Dressing up, without looking stuffy; sharp, yet unpretentious. Perfect for anyone who appreciates a bit of British flair without going overboard. And beneath that rugged exterior? We assure you, it’s got a softer side.
What’s tweed?
A quick backstory: Tweed is thick, carded wool, developed in Scotland around the early 1800s. It’s warm, weatherproof, and tough enough to ramble across the British countryside. From humble beginnings to the gentry’s wardrobes, tweed has stayed relevant for over two centuries. And it doesn’t take much to understand why.
Magical properties
Beyond wool’s outstanding natural properties, tweed’s charm lies in the way it’s processed and its unique weave. First, the wool’s carded (not combed), keeping hold of some of wool’s natural fat that’s insulating and water-repellent. This also gives tweed its signature, hearty feel. Next up: the twill weave—a diagonal pattern that’s stronger, more textured, and way more crease-resistant. It’s these qualities that made tweed perfect for Scotland’s tough climate.
Treading the line
We didn’t just give you a premium tweed; we lined the jacket with a soft viscose to boost the comfort levels. You asked for it, and we listened. Viscose offers the perfect level of comfort, so your Tweed Jacket slips on with ease.
Carpet on authenticity
A storied fabric deserves to have its legacy respected. We sourced our tweed from Moon, an English house that’s been weaving since 1837. With 187 years of experience, we knew we were in good hands. It’s an honour to work with artisans like this—and a joy to share it with you.
Traditional material, modern cut
The trick with tweed is not to get too literal. Like corduroy, it can look old-fashioned if done wrong. But not to worry, we’ve given this jacket a modern twist. Slightly more relaxed than our previous cut, it’s easy to move in. Plus, we’ve updated the armhole for even more comfort. Otherwise, we kept the best features: slim lapels, a comfort pleat at the back, and flap pockets—so no one mistakes you for a philosophy professor (unless that’s your thing).
How do you wear this jacket?
Believe it or not, the Tweed Jacket’s as easygoing as they come. Sure, you can style it with slacks and a nice coat. But there’s nothing stopping you from pairing it with jeans and a turtleneck or even a chunky chino with a classic sweatshirt. There’s a reason tweed evolved from workers’ shoulders to King Edward VII’s—it elevates just about any look.
P.S.: The only thing this jacket won’t agree with? Tracksuits. Standards.
Three top colours
Your Tweed Jacket comes in three iconic styles. The classics: Grey marl with all kinds of shades, a Navy with windowpane checks, and a standout Dark Green Herringbone for those looking to mix it up. Which one’s calling your name?
Take care, eh?
No surprises here: this one’s a dry-clean-only affair. Our tip? Take it in at the end of each season, around April. After that, just keep it in a protective sleeve until the weather cools again, and you’ll be all set.
