The timeless style of Scottish tweed clothing

The country clothing of Scotland is epitomised by the stylish elegance of Scottish tweed clothing. Available for both men and women, the range of items available means that there's something to suit everyone, whatever their figure and whatever they're doing.

For years, tweed has been associated with country pursuits such as fishing, horse riding and shooting. And this association has made tweed a timeless material, and one not affected by changing fashions.

There's a wide range of products available for men in the tweed clothing range, from jackets and coats to caps and breaks, all designed to keep you warm, comfortable and stylish. It's possible to order bespoke clothing in a tweed pattern unique to you. Clothes like these stay in families for generations.

For ladies, the tweed designs are both feminine and flattering, and made to suit both city life and country pursuits.

How tweed got its name is an interesting story. Originally it was called "tweele", its Scots name because of the way it was woven in a twill pattern.

When a merchant in London received a letter and the tweele material, he misread it assuming it was a trade name (because the company who wrote to him were based near the River Tweed), and thus he advertised it as Scottish Tweed, and the name stuck.

As more people look to buy locally, as part of concern for the environment, Scottish tweed clothing sales could be on the increase. Of course, it's also because of the timelessness of tweed.
