Tweed
Sample of tweed produced on the Isle of Harris, Scotland.
Tweed is a course, closely woven woollen cloth that may originate from along the Tweed river in the Scottish borders. Another etymology links the name to Scottish tweel for twill. It is normally produced in a tabby or twill weave. The cloth is eminently suitable for wearing in damp and cold weather, and traditionally linked to outdoor sports such as hunting.
