There’s more to tweed suits than pipe smoking and warm ale drinking. The GQ edit will take you from countryside to corner suite
It’s hard not to link tweed suits to the shooting, pipe smoking and bustling little pubs of Warwickshire. This rough woollen fabric is water-resistant, hard-wearing and warm, so there is a good reason it is universally loved in the countryside.
Yet, there is no such thing as a typical tweed. It comes in a variety of weights, weaves and colours, which means that once you step away from the bucolic stereotype, there is a world of tweed suiting options out there to explore. It is actually one of the smartest ways to stay warm without bulking up on layers, making it the winter suit fabric of choice for city slickers and country folk alike. And, newer lightweight varieties mean you can don a tweed suit well into the warmer months too. Sound like your next best suit? You won’t regret it. Here’s our pick of the tweed suits that are far more boardroom than bumpkin.
