Tweed Blazer Tailoring and Craftsmanship

Irish tweed has long been valued for its texture, durability and warmth, qualities that carry through into our tailored blazers. Wool tweed is a natural, renewable fiber, and many of our blazers are woven with this reputation for quality in mind, giving each piece a substantial feel that holds its shape over time. The fabric takes color beautifully, and our artisan weavers often favor the greens, blues and heathered browns found across the Irish countryside.

Cut and styling vary across the range, from a traditional collared blazer with a fitted waist to more relaxed, rounded neck styles suited to layering. A tweed blazer works equally well over a blouse for the office or paired with denim for a weekend outing, and the structured wool holds up to regular wear without losing its character. Many designs include practical touches such as interior pockets and a smooth lining for ease of movement.

Our wider range of women's tweed jackets and blazers also includes gilets and coats, giving you the option to build a full look or add a single statement piece to an existing wardrobe. These garments are part of a broader tradition of Irish weaving that also produces our Aran sweaters and traditional flat caps, crafts we are proud to support through the makers we work with.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a tweed blazer and a tweed jacket?

+

Blazer and jacket overlap, and the words are often used interchangeably, but there's a useful distinction when you're picking one. A tweed blazer is the more fitted, tailored shape, cut on a defined waist with structured shoulders, usually single-breasted, and designed to pair with trousers, a dress or a skirt. A tweed jacket is the broader term, covering the blazer but also looser country cuts, longer lengths and casual pieces like the gilet. For a formal event, pick a blazer; for walking, workwear and everyday wear, a jacket gives you more versatility.

Will a tweed jacket keep the rain out?

+

Tweed is naturally water-resistant: the lanolin in wool fibres causes rain to bead and roll off, and the tight weave helps shed water rather than soak it up. For a passing shower, your tweed jacket will cope well and dry quickly away from direct heat. For sustained rain, tweed isn't the right layer: look for a jacket with waterproof seams and a longer cut, built for proper weather. You can also extend a traditional tweed's water resistance by treating it with a wool-safe reproofer every year or two.

When can I wear a tweed jacket?

+

Most tweed jackets suit autumn, winter and spring, but lighter-weight tweeds work in summer too, especially mornings and evenings. Tweed jackets are also well suited to a formal outfit: a wedding guest look, a smart office or any dress occasion that calls for tailored outerwear. For casual wear, a looser country-cut tweed sits well with jeans or trousers for a weekend lunch or a country walk. The weight of the piece guides the season, while the cut guides the occasion.

How do I care for a tweed jacket?

+

Most tweed jackets and coats are dry clean only. The lining, the structured shoulder and the drape of a tweed piece don’t take well to home washing, which can shrink the wool and warp the shape. Between dry cleans, brush your jacket with a soft clothes brush after each wear and hang it on a wide hanger (not a thin wire one, which marks the shoulder) to air before storing. Avoid folding, which creases the collar and lapels. Check the care label for precise instructions for your jacket.
