Inspired by the rust-hued coat of stealthy foxes this delightful Yorkshire Tweed boasts a creative combination of yarns. The subtle pairing of melange weft yarns, in flaming russet and tawny brown, sits perfectly alongside complementary warp yarns of charcoal brown, alternating with a heathered grey melange yarn. This clever combination produces a subtle tweedy melange with natural brown-grey and flaming russet, very much like the coat of the clever Mr Fox. The reverse birdseye weave presents itself as a small tweedy check. Add these classic tones to your A/W wardrobe and they are sure to take you delightfully into spring. Team with other classic Yorkshire Tweeds for the perfect combination to create bespoke separates in a timeless yet updated style.
