About Tweed

Tweed's humble beginnings reach back to the early 19th century when it was first hand-woven in Scotland as warm, durable work wear for crofters. When the nobility of the British Isles stayed in Scotland they adopted tweed, wearing it on their grand Highland estates, particularly for country sports. With traditional designs including checks, herringbones and barleycorns, tweed has become an icon of British and Scottish style.

About Viscose

Despite being a modern yarn, viscose, or rayon, has many of the properties of a natural fibre due to its derivation from natural plant cellulose. Using fast-growing renewable woods like eucalyptus, beech, pine and bamboo, viscose is naturally breathable and cooling. Developed originally as a substitute for silk, viscose has a wonderful floaty drape. It also works well blended with natural linen, resulting in cooling garments with a noted draping quality.
