Tweed Blazer, Trousers & Skirts
Feminine-cut tweed blazers and Marlene trousers in Lovat and Moon
What distinguishes tweed for women?
Our women's tweed collection is built on the cloths of two traditional British mills: Lovat Mill from England and Abraham Moon & Sons from Yorkshire. Every piece is woven from 100% virgin wool and tailored in Portugal. Here you will find feminine-cut blazers and the classic Marlene trousers with a high waist and pressed crease. No mass-market tweed, no anonymous blends, but cloths with provenance and a name.
Real British tweed: the mills behind our styles
Tweed is not just tweed. What matters is who weaves it. John Crocket works with three mills, each bringing its own character to the cloth.
Lovat Mill (England): muted colours, often with Prince of Wales check or subtle herringbone textures. Calm, elegant, wears like a classic jacketing cloth.
Abraham Moon & Sons (Yorkshire, founded 1837): one of England's oldest continuously producing tweed mills. Moon tweed has more body, visible fibre texture and colour compositions full of character.
Magee (Donegal, Ireland, founded 1866): classic Donegal tweed with earthy tones and visible weave texture. Currently not part of the women's range, but found in our men's collection.
The current women's styles are made of 100% virgin wool, tailored in Portugal and offered in our Cologne store as well as online. You can read more about the cloths and their history in our tweed guide.
Which tweed blazer suits your wardrobe?
Our women's blazers come in three versions with different uses. The grey Lovat blazer with Glen check is understated and works with dark trousers as well as with a cream roll neck jumper. The blue-beige checked Lovat blazer is the livelier note of the collection: clear colour contrasts, but not loud. The brown Moon blazer with overcheck has more warmth in the cloth and goes with corduroy, denim or the Marlene trousers in Moon tweed.
If you buy a tweed blazer and Marlene trousers in the same cloth, you get a true two-piece. If you mix, you build a wardrobe designed to last for years.
Fit and craftsmanship
The blazers are feminine in cut, with a 2-button front, genuine horn buttons and piped pockets. The seams run as princess seams through the front and back panels, giving the blazer its waisted line. Inside, we use a viscose lining that glides comfortably over a jumper and keeps the blazer in shape for longer.
The Marlene trousers sit on the natural waist, have a pressed crease, a wide leg and fall straight to the ankle. Belt loops, flap pockets at the back and a concealed zip are part of the classic Marlene cut. All pieces are tailored in Portugal, in small runs and to a standard we also describe at product level.
Care: air rather than wash, dab stains locally, dry-clean if needed. Tweed rewards every bit of gentle treatment with a long life.
Combining a tweed wardrobe
The real advantage of a women's tweed collection shows when blazer and Marlene trousers come together. Wear the brown Moon blazer with the matching Marlene trousers in Moon tweed and you have a calm two-piece. Combine the same blazer with jeans and a white shirt and the look becomes everyday. The grey and blue Lovat blazers, in turn, can be used more freely because they are less binding in colour. This mix-and-match logic is why we think of women's tweed pieces as a collection, not as individual products.
