Tweed Clothing & Accessories

The Jack Murphy Dundrum Ladies Tweed Jacket is a fresh, feminine take on the classic country jacket.  The hip length shape and tailoring at the waist combine to create a flattering staple for the season. 

  

A new favourite of ours at The Country Catalogue is a fleece lined Tweed Hoodie; a modern take on the traditional tweed coat for men and women.  The tweed hoodies are handmade here in Dorset and are available in two designs. 

 

Alongside these new collections, traditional tweed shooting jackets and tweed breeks from a range of brands such as Musto, Hoggs, Laksen and Alan Paine are available for both men and women.  These traditional garments have been given a modern twist for improved fit, comfort and performance.

 

From Alan Paine we have selected the Rutland Tweed Collection which includes products for men, ladies and children:

 

The Rutland Gents Tweed Coat, Tweed Waistcoat, Tweed Breeks and Rutland Cap create a smart, comfortable and   practical combination for the shooting field

 

The Rutland Ladies Tweed Coat retains all of the technical features of the men’s with added shaping to creating a flattering, feminine fit.

 

Childrens tweed breeks have been much requested by our customers so we are really pleased to introduce the Rutland Kids Tweed Breeks this season.

 

Hoggs Tweed is again proving to be popular with our customers and is excellent value for money. The brown Hoggs Dirleton Tweed is available as a waterproof shooting jacket, shooting vest, breeks and waterproof cap. Hoggs Edinburgh Tweed is equally sought after and can be bought as a waterproof shooting jacket with matching breeks and a waterproof cap. Hoggs Highland Tweed offers an attractive sporting collection for ladies. The waterproof shooting jacket has co-ordinating breeks, a cosy fleece-lined waistcoat, waterproof hat and a tweed tote handbag.

 

Traditionally, tweed is known as a hardwearing, heavy cloth made in subdued earthy colours.  Over the years though, the technology used in producing this traditional material has improved greatly, resulting in well designed, practical and comfortable pieces of clothing.  Tweed clothes for outdoor use can now be lightweight, breathable and water repellent, perfect for braving Great British weather.

 

 

The story of tweed began in Scotland in the 18^th Century, where it was produced and dyed using all natural materials.  These methods produced natural earthy colours such as green, blue, brown, grey and heather which blend into the moorland.

 

To make tweed, wool is gathered, washed and dyed.  Traditionally, carding was done by hand to straighten the wool out before it was spun by hand into yarn.  The yarn would them by woven into tweed on a loom.  The material would then be stretched and dried before being used.
