Which other items and accessories you pair your tweed jacket with will largely depend on its colour and material. A light colored blazer (grey or tan) can create a subtle, casual look, while a more traditional brown or green textured tweed jacket can add warmth and class to a standard pair of jeans. In any case, tweed is extremely versatile. Tweed jackets can be worn atop tailored shirts, t-shirts and sweaters, meaning neckwear isn’t always required. Dark or light chinos will turn even the most conservative tweed jacket into something appropriate for a weekend stroll and black trousers can dress up an otherwise casual tweed jacket for an evening out.
Regardless of your fabric choice, we want to make sure your jacket fits properly. Our expert tailors will create a blazer that’s made-to-measure. We’ll consider the broadness of your shoulders, the length of your arms, and the size of your waist, creating a jacket that was designed specifically for you. We have options for you to customise the lining of your tweed jacket, the number of buttons on the front, the size and shape of the lapels, pockets, and the vent. Other options are also available.
