Tweed Guide - How To Wear Harris Tweeds, Donegal, Cheviot, Saxony...

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to tweed fabric, covering its origins in Scotland, different types named after sheep breeds (Cheviot, Shetland) and geographic regions (Donegal, Saxon, Harris), functional variations (Gamekeeper, hunting tweed), and various weave patterns (plain twill, herringbone, houndstooth, checks). They explain how to wear tweed appropriately for autumn and winter, recommend starting with medium brown tones, and advise against wearing tweed in formal office settings or evening occasions.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team explains that tweed comes in many varieties distinguished by sheep breed, geographic origin, function, and weave patterns, each with distinct characteristics in weight, texture, and appearance
• The Gazette team recommends beginners start with medium brown tweed blazers in subtle patterns like Donegal or small houndstooth, which pair easily with corduroys, chinos, and other casual trousers
• The Gazette team advises that tweed is appropriate for autumn and winter wear in rural or casual settings, but should be avoided in traditional office environments and formal evening occasions
• The Gazette team suggests cream or off-white shirts work best with tweed jackets, while pure white shirts clash with the informal character of the fabric
