What do you call this kind of material/wool?




It's thick, rough, and had lots of tiny flecks of colour in it. I wondered if there was a name for this style of material? Any ideas?

Tweed

This is either a hand woven or a machine woven tweed.

[mccfluff]

is it tweed?

[Mamyalynne]

Lovat Tweed I think.

[Noraq]

Worsted Wool?

[AB Editor]

"Lovat Tweed" seems the closest so far (on a quick search of G images)

So there isn't a name for "little flecks of colour"?

"So there isn't a name for "little flecks of colour"?"

Yes, tweed.

[AB Editor]

I was hoping there'd be a way to narrow it down a bit Chuck! Tweed turns up really traditional stuff.

Donegal Tweed?

[ChuckFickens]

You have expensive tastes in suits BTW :)

I do Chuck! It's not actually that one, it was a two-button deal I was looking at.

Donegal Tweed is really close to what I am after.

I must visit a tweedery.

I like the tie. will you be getting one of those, too?

[jno]

specifically Friday afternoon. I take it that Project Gravatar is on hold.

"I take it that Project Gravatar is on hold."

We're nearly there with our current task, some time will be dedicated to it once they're done.

The tie is nice, I already have one a little like that.

you know, if you got the three-button jacket you could make the third one a Back Button.
