Prince of Wales Tweed

Tweed-inspired shirts always find a home in our Autumn/Winter collections, thanks to their rich texture and tonal depth. And while authentic Scottish woolens are wonderful, this Japan-woven cloth is crafted from 100% cotton and fares far better as shirting. Soft to the touch with a satisfyingly hefty drape, it still looks the part, just without the woolen itch.

This iteration takes its cues from the classic Prince of Wales check, translating the menswear mainstay into a richly textured cotton weave. Its intersecting checks and subtle shifts in scale give the fabric plenty of visual depth without straying far from tradition. Large-gauge, 2-ply yarns lend the cloth its substance and warmth, while a three-step brushing process increases insulation and softness while coaxing out the fuzzy, dimensional texture we associate with traditional tweed.
