Tweed
Some
claim that Tweed is the ultimate outdoor wear. Owners of large country
estates used to design and commission their own tweeds for uniforms
for their estate workers.
The fashion for tweed outdoor clothing caught on quick with those
who came to Scotland for the shooting, fishing and stalking. And
it’s not hard to see why. Apart from its beautiful appearance,
there is nothing quite like tweed for keeping out the Scottish cold
and damp.
Today you will find a vast number of specialist shops offering high
quality tailored tweed garments.
