This superb country blazer would work perfectly with other tweeds for an autumn race meeting, weekend shooting party, autumn wedding, or any other country event, but it is also a simple way to upgrade a more casual look, like country cords and a roll-neck lambswool jumper.

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.
