The best tweed jackets: here are our top picks
A tweed jacket is a wardrobe staple that will never date
It’s always useful to have a few good jackets and blazers to wear and a sports jacket in a Harris tweed or similar is a garment that you’ll put on again and again. The best tweed jackets will look good if you’re having lunch in a country pub, if you’re out in the field, walking the dog or going to a game fair, a country show, or to the racing. (Read our guide to what to wear shooting.)
You can wear tweed jackets with a shirt and tie, over a v-neck or round neck sweater, with a fleece vest and paired with jeans, chinos, cords or twill trousers. You can dress the best tweed jackets up or down, use them for work, shooting, sport or socialising. (Take a look at our list of the best Tattersall check shirts.)
Tweed is a perennially popular fabric with good reason; it looks good, it wears well, it’s warm, repels water and keeps the chill out. It’s also breathable – qualities which make it the original performance material. It also comes in a variety of different colours; blue tweeds, heather-coloured tweeds, brown and green tweeds.

To help you choose, we’ve made a list of the best tweed jackets which have caught our eye, in a range of price options. (If you’re looking for a tweed shooting coat, read here.)
