tweed
Professorial jacket material
Tweed is a rough-textured woolen fabric, typically woven in mixed colors to produce a flecked or heathered appearance.
Associated with rural Britain and outdoor pursuits, tweed suggests country estates, hunting, and academic life: a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches.
Harris tweed, from Scotland's Outer Hebrides, is particularly prized.
