These sporting tweeds were developed to break up the wearer’s appearance and help them blend into the landscape, and were particular to individual hunting estates. Even bright colours, such as red and yellow, worked effectively when combined with more sober ones and weaves could also be altered to cater for the changing seasons. In the field, these proved extremely useful for camouflaging deer stalkers, helping to disguise both a sportsman and his guide as they crept ever closer to a keen-eyed stag.
And from the Highlands to east London, 37 Redchurch St. to be more precise – we arrive at Timothy Everest and our latest tweed coat cut in-house. Our Houndstooth Tweed Check Sports Coat is cut with plenty of drape, making it a marvellously functional and comfortable piece.
