What Even Is Tweed? (From Survival Cloth to Chanel Couture)

When we think of tweed, we usually think of Chanel. A little suit. Gold buttons. Paris. But tweed didn’t begin in fashion houses. In this week’s vlog (which accidentally turned into a full tweedumentry 😅🧶), I trace the evolution of tweed from rural survival cloth in Scotland and Ireland, through estate wear and academic symbolism, all the way to haute couture via Coco Chanel. We explore: • Where the word “tweed” actually comes from • The difference between tweed and Harris Tweed • How class and industrialisation reshaped its meaning • Why Chanel recontextualised it for women’s fashion • How tweed functions in modern fashion today • And why I chose superfine merino tweed (in burgundy 😍) for my Cashmere Outside Tee This version of the Cashmere Outside Tee isn’t about softness. It’s about texture. Translation. Material continuity. It’s tweed, abstracted. 🧶 Pattern: The Cashmere Outside Tee (Available via my website + Ravelry) If you love textile history, material culture, and slightly obsessive fiber deep dives - welcome. You are among friends here. xoxo Arly
