After many years of being a blue collar worker, I have finally retired and decided to go from the wearing of blue jeans and work shirts to something a bit more fashionable. I am of Scottish heritage and have always wanted a Harris tweed sports coat and finally ordered one in brown/olive barleycorn. Just trying it on with a pair of blue jeans and a green plaid shirt was a great look that made me wonder why I hadn't bought one before.

It is custom made for me, so fits beautifully- and it is so comfortable it feels like I’m wearing a tracksuit. Now I want tweed everything. Ive bought a couple of Harris tweed waistcoats, flatcap, even a tweed-covered hipflask ( for medicinal purposes, of course). Tweed is the best.

i always find it so interesting that some fabrics, like tweed, linen, knit wool, etc. when used in certain contexts was considered distasteful or low-class since only the poor would have not been able to afford the more "proper" fine worsted and silk clothing of the upper class for different occasions. we now consider these fabrics expensive or "high-class", both because the more aristocratic have adopted these fabrics, and because the aspects that made them cheap in their heyday - locally spun and woven, made in small batches, domestic industry - has now made them rather expensive materials compared to what most people are used to today.

Red, blue, sage, green, yellow, brown - almost all colours can come up with tweed, which on their own, would be just overwhelming. The different colours and different patterns make tweed so versatile. And it comes in "lightweight" as well, so it is not just for the colder months. And if you wear a tweed suit with 'plus fours' (knickerbockers) you're incredibly stylish! Or indeed a Norfolk jacket. Just one point: don't wear tweed jackets with jeans, it's a breach of style - wear them with corduroy, chinos, moleskin or cavalry twill - or indeed with tweed!

If I may, you wear a fantastic sport coat in that video. It seems to render like a dark green in the video and I can't tell if it's true to its color, but it's great. As fall is approaching again this year, you might consider doing a video on how to pair ties with tweed. From memory, you have more than one tweed jackets, so you might have some tips to share with examples from your own outfits. Most ties have a little too much of a satin finish for something like tweed, but some specific examples might help see how to do it well. The tie in this video seems to work. What is it made of and what is weave and texture like up close, if you don't mind?

No offence Ash, but I still think tweed is a bit if an old mans fabric. Also, here in Holland we don’t have a big tradition if wearing tweed. At which age do you think a chap could pull of wearing tweed?

At the age where you stop wearing sneakers, torn jeans, hoodies and t-shirts

@@viclucyzia Hmm, that’s not very scientific isn’t it 😉 I get you’re point. I’m 43 and I’m at an age where I think I’m allowed certain “old man” styling, like small dress watches etc. I’m not sure if I’ll ever wear tweed though. Cheers buddy!

@@pasquale78 And I know what you mean. You dont wear tweed everyday. For me it's in rotation with my many other types of jackets. Get a type of jacket that really fits your style and wear with nice clean dark jeans and leather shoes and with a sports analog watch . That is more towards younger lads. Actually I do it too in seldom occasions. One day with age your taste will change towards more sartorial and tweed is part of it.

I dont see where the question of age comes in. Refer to some old British shopping catalogues and you will see tweed is worn across all age groups , even a school lad. I think its your way of thinking.Tweed can be "pulled on" or "pulled off" depending upon, indivdual style, preferences and demeanour.Thats it.Period.

The tweed jacket + jeans can look fine, but adding a vest just looks ridiculous with jeans.

You shouldn't have to argue for tweed, it's classic practicality and sportiness
