Tweed Fabric

Tweed Fabric

Tweed is a textured, hard-wearing cloth traditionally used for jackets, waistcoats, skirts and coats. Our collection runs from authentic British wool and Italian Linton tweeds to softer boucle coatings and cotton-blend tweed-look fabrics, so there's a weight and price to suit most projects.

Because the range spans different fibres, it's worth checking each product page for content and weight. For more options, browse our wider wool fabrics collection. Order a sample to feel the handle before you buy.

Tweed is a rough-surfaced woven cloth, usually made with a twill or plain weave and known for its flecks of colour and classic patterns. It has a long association with country and tailored clothing because it's warm, durable and ages well. Today the word covers a family of fabrics rather than a single fibre, which is worth understanding before you buy.

Tweed isn't always pure wool

Traditional tweed is woven from wool, and our range includes genuine British wool tweeds and Italian Linton tweeds, the kind of quality cloth used in fine tailoring. Alongside these you'll find wool-blend boucle and coating tweeds for softer, more textured makes, and cotton and mixed-fibre tweed-look fabrics that give the appearance of tweed at a lower price and with easier care. None is better or worse, they simply suit different projects, so check the fibre content on each product page.

Common tweed patterns

  • Herringbone: a V-shaped zig-zag weave, a classic for jackets and coats.
  • Houndstooth: a broken check in two colours, smart and timeless.
  • Check and plaid: woven colour checks, from subtle to bold.
  • Boucle: a looped, nubbly texture often used for soft jackets and cardigans.

Sewing with tweed

Tweed is stable and forgiving to sew, but looser weaves can fray, so finish your seam edges and consider lining structured pieces. Press with steam and a pressing cloth to protect the surface, and choose interfacing to support collars and front edges on jackets. Wool tweeds are usually best dry-cleaned, while many cotton and blended tweeds can be washed, so always follow the care guidance on the individual product page.

Is tweed always made from wool?

No. Traditional tweed is wool, and our range includes genuine British wool and Italian Linton tweeds, but it also features wool-blend boucle and cotton or mixed-fibre tweed-look fabrics. These give a similar appearance with easier care or a lower price. Check the fibre content on the product page to see exactly what each one is.

What is the difference between tweed and Harris Tweed?

Harris Tweed is a protected name for wool tweed hand-woven in the Outer Hebrides and certified with the Orb mark. It's one type of tweed. The word tweed itself covers a much wider family of textured woven cloths in various fibres and patterns, which is what you'll find across this collection.

Does tweed fray when you cut it?

Looser-woven tweeds can fray, so it's worth finishing the seam edges as you sew and lining more structured garments. Tighter weaves hold together better. A quick test on a sample piece will show you how much a particular tweed moves before you cut into your main length.

What can I make with tweed fabric?

Tweed is a natural choice for jackets, waistcoats, skirts, pinafores, coats and structured dresses. Softer boucle and blended tweeds also work well for relaxed jackets and cardigans. The weight of the fabric is the best guide, so check the product page and order a sample if you're unsure.

How do I care for tweed?

Wool tweeds are usually best dry-cleaned, while many cotton and blended tweeds can be machine washed. Press with steam and a pressing cloth to protect the surface. Always follow the care advice on the individual product page, as it varies with the fibre content.
