On \u003cb\u003eMarsden Cuckoo\u003c\/b\u003e they are restrained and subtle, blending in and giving extra interest to this muted herringbone and overall adding a softened grey effect, rather than standing out as obvious flecks of colour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.5pt; line-height: 120%;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePairs with: \u003c\/b\u003eUse with\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eSaltaire Silver Heather\u003c\/i\u003e for a cool palette lilac touch.

Most wool tweed runs a standard mid-grey warp; choosing to use a chestnut warp and giving this special collection individuality and exclusivity. On \u003cb\u003eMarsden Cuckoo\u003c\/b\u003e the chestnut creates a strong contrast and yet still allows the fabric to stay within the neutral palette. Accessorising colours will either draw the colouring out or allow it to recede.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eProperties:\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e A substantial tweed surface, dry and textured, with the speckled neps clearly raised against the herringbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Firm, warm and dense with a satisfying weight in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Structured.
