Tweed Check

Estate checks in moor-and-field tones, brushed suede-soft after weaving.

Estate tweed was camouflage for the countryside: greens, browns, and ochres checked to disappear into moor and field. Brushed after weaving, it turns almost suede-soft.

Our jackets keep the check small and the cut vintage — country cloth, town manners.
