“In 2007 Rapha collaborated with Paul Smith to produce two limited edition tweed-style cycling caps. The popularity of this idiosyncratic style demanded Rapha deliver a new line in tweed caps. 2009 brings three new and distinctive interpretations of the classic cycling biretta, rendered in fabrics more usually associated with fine bespoke tailoring. A perfect accessory for the sartorial cyclist.” Get it now from Rapha.

Heavy Tweed pulls off their usual discovery with this recent post on a variety of outdoor gear lines from the Brooks Brothers family. “One thing that fascinates me is that Brooks didn’t only sell suits and casual wear, but also sold a variety of outdoors wear… Over the years the American clothier, Brooks Brothers, produced a number of iconic labels such as Brookscloth, Brooksweave, Brooksflannel, Brookstweed, and as the page below shows, ‘Brooksweather.’”

Two lovely boots from the people at Mean. Both boots lace high on the leg and include reinforced lace snap ups tweed finish on the uppers – choose from beige or brown. Two very good looks available now from Anout Commune.

Japan’s R by 45rpm line drops three cotton tweed jackets online (yes, Americans, you too can order this Japanese line online). The seven pocket jackets feature a nice breast pocket to protect your eyewear and tagua nut made buttons giving it a great finish. To give these tweed jackets a comforting finish, the cotton has been woven on wool weaving machines  which brings out the softness and puffiness of the fabric.  Get it in brown herringbone, light grey, and dark brown from R by 45rpm.

Wallpaper Magazine describes Britian’s Hackett best. "With 25 years of evolutionary rather than revolutionary male clothing and accessories under their belt, Hackett has carved itself a considerable niche in the menswear market as a timeless, British brand. In celebration of their quarter century milestone they’re pushing the boat out a little further by creating three special collections: Silver, Tweed and Aston Martin."

What this means to us is three solid products from Hackett – a silver Toast Rack, a tweed jacket produced by Scotland’s Lovat Mill, and a great green racing helmet for Aston Martin.
