The origin of Tweed is wrong, it was originally produced to replace family Tartan, this is because Tartan was originally used to identify different Scottish families, they were in addition made using brighter colours and family's would inter-kill each other due to family feuds. Tweed was from there onwards born due to their darker colours they wouldn't stand out as much within the countryside, the different types/motifs were then designed to identify different estates.

There are hunting tartans and weathered tartans that were designed specifically for hunting and other outdoor pursuits, but were only worn by those who belonged to the clan. Colourful tartans are known as "Dress Tartans" and were worn on formal occasions only. The fabric known as Tweed originates from the Hebridean Isles and was created for working the land. As the Scottish economy expanded, It was later sold to the English aristocracy when they started to holiday on Scottish country estates in the early 1800's. Estate Tweeds were created when Estates were sold to people who were not of the original clan and therefore, hand no right to wear the tartans associated with the land. I remember my father had jacket in the Stobo Estate Tweed in the 1980's. They stopped making them soon after.

The chief characteristic of a twill isn't alternating colors, but the method of weaving where every weft thread passes under at least one warp thread, and then over at least 2 warp threads. The number of warp threads being crossed each time defines the type of twill. For instance a 2/2 twill has the weft pass under 2 warp threads, then over 2 warp threads. There is also an offset with each row that creates the fabric's pattern. Herringbone is made by reversing the direction of the twill (either horizontally or vertically, depending on how the loom is set up) at regular intervals. The alternating diagonal patterns come from using different color threads for the warp and weft. If the same or similar colors are used, the pattern is much less noticeable. You can weave a twill out of any kind of fiber. Chino, for instance, is cotton twill. But it was probably invented for wool. Wait -- BOGEY is your example of an "old, stodgy gentleman"? WHAT? In his day he was the very essence of the cool and the fashionable! Not stodgy in the least!

A few points. The weight. I have a bespoke Donegal tweed suit weighing in at the 600g+ mark. This is noticeably heavier than any other suit I have. While weight was toughed upon a couple of times I'd say weight is one of the most notable characteristics of tweed and makes it really suitable for late autumn, winter and maybe early spring wear. A good heavy pair of moleskin trousers goes well with tweed. Again I have a bespoke pair of heavyweight moleskin trousers (again weighting in at the the 600g mark) that goes very well with tweed. Finally, expand on the non-Scottish and non-Irish tweeds. While I know of one mill that weaves tweed in England I've never heard of tweed been woven outside Britain and Ireland.

These videos are a wonderful resource. The explanations are invaluable in orienting someone in how to dress within social expectation and practical requirements. I do sometimes, however, disagree with the prescriptions made in the videos on a level of personal taste. For example, I wouldn't hesitate to wear a dark navy or charcoal tweed (maybe with a subtle overcheck) to a "city" event where a suit was expected (formal sensu lato), even in the evening, if I knew there was a potential for cold (I'm thinking of a local music venue, especially). But at the same time, I have to acknowledge that the advice to avoid wearing tweed at evening formal avoids any potential for faux pas and the embarrassment of underdressing. Great vids, all of them! A proper men's fashion compass.
