Tweed fabric is a durable, woolen textile known for its rough texture, rich history, and distinctive appearance. Originating from Scotland and Ireland, tweed was initially favored for its excellent insulating properties, making it suitable for protecting against the damp and cold climates of the British Isles. The name “tweed” is thought to be a misreading of the Scottish word “tweel,” which refers to the twill weave commonly used in tweed fabric, though it is also associated with the River Tweed in Scotland.
