As it was first developed to look stylish while defying the harsh weather of Scotland, tweed is the perfect textile choice to balance elegance and functionality.
Tweeds long history begins in the 1800s. Originally created to produce a material with weather-resistant qualities, the fabric is connotative to physical strength and endurance. As tweed proved it’s functionality, different patterns of the fabric were specifically commissioned by landowners to be their estate tweed. Often matched to the colour and nature of the landscape, tweed jackets were worn for outdoor activities and traditional, country sports such as hunting and shooting. This associated the fabric with power and exclusivity and boosted the masculinity of the material; thus, making it fashionable for middle-class professionalism. Women soon redefined themselves through fashion by taking the masculinity of tweed and adopting similar suit styles to the men of the age to challenge the political coding and gender roles of the late 19th century. From 1924, Chanel began using tweed in their designs, shortly becoming a staple fabric of the fashion house and it is now a defining feature of the brand. Tweed is a popular, classy, and high-performing material.
