Saxony Tweed – German Precision, British Charm

January 10, 2026

From Saxon Sheep to Sartorial Excellence

Saxony Tweed traces its roots to the Saxony region of Germany, where Merino sheep produce some of the world’s finest, softest wool. This luxurious tweed is spun with a blend of German precision and British tailoring tradition, resulting in fabric that’s light, smooth, and incredibly refined. Once a favourite of European aristocrats, Saxony Tweed is now a staple for those who appreciate comfort and elegance in equal measure.

Signature Colours & Weaves

Saxony Tweed is known for its muted sophistication: think gentle greys, soft blues, elegant taupes, and understated checks. The fine Merino fibres allow for:

Plain Weave: Ultra-smooth and lightweight
Fine Herringbone: Sleek and subtle
Delicate Checks: For a touch of continental flair Each piece drapes beautifully and feels luxuriously soft against the skin.

Durability & Fabric Weights

Saxony Tweed is lighter than most, with weights from 10oz to 13oz, making it ideal for:

Transitional seasons: Perfect for spring and autumn
City wear: Blazers, suits, and gilets that move from office to evening
Layering: Adds polish without bulk Despite its softness, Saxony Tweed is surprisingly resilient, retaining shape and resisting wrinkles.

Suggested Wear & Styling

Saxony Tweed is the go-to for those who want a touch of luxury every day. For men, a grey Saxony hacking jacket pairs effortlessly with tailored trousers or jeans. Women can style a blue gilet over a silk blouse or opt for a refined 3-piece suit for boardroom confidence. Whether you’re at a city café or a countryside retreat, Saxony Tweed delivers understated elegance.

Care & Maintenance

Keep Saxony Tweed looking sharp by brushing after wear, airing between outings, and spot cleaning when needed. Its fine Merino fibres mean it stays soft and elegant with minimal fuss.
