From Cheviot Hills to Classic Tailoring

Cheviot Tweed hails from the rolling Cheviot Hills on the Scottish-English border, woven from the fleece of the hardy Cheviot sheep. Renowned for its strength, resilience, and slightly coarse texture, this tweed was originally designed for outdoor pursuits and country living. Over generations, Cheviot Tweed has become a staple for those who need their tailoring to look sharp and stand up to the elements—whether you’re hiking the moors or dashing through city streets.
