The tweed jacket is of English origin. The history of its appearance is inextricably linked with this country, in particular - with the English aristocracy. Introduced in the mid-19th century, the tweed jacket was originally intended only for hunting. It is believed that the first to appreciate the comfort of this type of clothing was the Duke of Norfolk, especially for whom a warm jacket was made that did not restrict movement, with a wide belt and spacious pockets.

This model later became known as the Norfolk jacket. The high society followed the duke's example and introduced tweed jackets into their daily wear. Undergoing some changes in their appearance, tweed jackets gradually spread throughout the rest of Europe and the New World.

Tweed jackets have become so popular due to the peculiarities of the fabric. Tweed is a material made up of specially treated wool. It is elastic, soft and warm. Tweed is pleasant to the touch, it has a short, thornless pile. This fabric is always embossed, but the weaving may vary. The most common twill weave. Tweed designs are made up of ribs, bumps, or knots.

Tweed jackets almost do not wrinkle and are worn for a very long time, however, they are very demanding to care for. So, for them, only hand washing in cool water using special detergents for woolen products is permissible. After washing, the jacket must be slightly wrung out and laid out to dry, placing an old sheet or other rag under it. You can iron a tweed jacket only from the inside out through damp gauze.

The range of jackets made of tweed is very diverse. For girls, designers create beautiful and elegant tweed jackets that emphasize the dignity of the figure.

A woolen jacket with "elbow pieces" made of leather or suede is one of the most fashionable items of the last several seasons.
