Best tweed jacket

Tweed is the original performance fabric. Naturally water-repellent due to its lanolin content, hardwearing and stylish, a good tweed jacket is a key piece of outdoor clothing that you will enjoy wearing for years.

Although tweed will repel water, look out for jackets that have a waterproof membrane to keep you dry in a downpour. They should be breathable to let our perspiration so your jacket stays dry inside and comfortable. As tweed is a natural fabric, you need to dry it slowly if it does get soaked to avoid shrinkage. Put it on a hanger in a warm room. Here are the tweed jackets we would recommend.
