I feel the need, the need for Tweed
Tweed is a popular fabric for outdoor pursuits such as golf, cycling, fly fishing and deer stalking! But I think Tweed can do more.
So I convinced my friend Dan to lend me his old Samuel Windsor Tweed jacket and flat cap (not sure he’ll want them back), and tried it on for surfing.
Turns out Tweed’s not so good for surfing, too heavy when wet, but I think I might be onto something…
