Shades: This premium all wool tweed Plaid features a palette of mellow nature hues, where the sun-ripened, golden tones of straw take centre stage. The complementary combination of melange yarns used in this pleasing Plaid evokes images of harvest time fields with cropped fields full of golden stubble and neatly stacked hay bales. Brown with flint grey undertones reminds one of the fertile earth where the long-awaited harvests spring from. The intersecting stripes that form the plaid, reminiscent of ploughed furrows, even feature hints of chalk white that the plough has revealed to the surface. This mellow palette is perfect for nature lovers who ned the reminder of golden summer sun.
Design: Plaid - The word "plaid" originally comes from the Scottish Gaelic word "plaide", meaning blanket or woollen cloth, and now is the term for a generic checked woollen fabric. Tartans are specific to Scottish clans or regions. Harvester Plaid is a pattern of crisscrossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours. Similar checked woollen patterns were used by Celtic tribes throughout the British Isles and Europe.
Properties:
Texture: This all wool Yorkshire Heritage Tweed features a classic wool outerwear texture that balances ruggedness with comfort. Typically fibrous, yet cosy and protective against the elements, naturally insulating, it traps air between fibres, providing warmth without being stifling. Breathable and resistant to wind, though not fully windproof.
Handle: The fabric holds its structure well and is stable along both the width and length, making it ideal for tailored garments like blazers or sport coats, and so much more. These traditional wool tweeds are perfect for soft furnishing and craft purposes.
Drape: Harvester Plaid will drape reassuringly when used at length. It will form neat pleats with structure and softer flares and flounces where required. A natural bias ease provides the opportunity for manipulating the fabric with steam for tailoring purposes.
Garment Suggestions:
Tweeds are always a firm favourite for country outerwear and will work beautifully for many designs and styles, from super smart three-piece suits to more casual bomber jackets. Tweed is a very versatile fabric!
