"Last week we brought you up to speed on the history of flannel and this week we’ll do the same for tweed. Now that the clocks have gone back an hour and the days are getting shorter, it’s time to bust out the warm wool. Just like flannel, the historic fabric has its roots in the cold, damp Scottish countryside. It’s original name, in fact, was “tweel” which is Scots for “twill” because of its twilled construction.
It’s come a long way since and you can now dress head-to-toe in nothing but tweed while staying in a 5-star tweed-lined hotel and listening to your music through tweed headphones. Take a look below to see how the fabric has made its way across borders and oceans over the past few centuries..." - High Snobiety
