tweedier
More coarsely woven
Tweedier is the comparative form of tweedy, describing something or someone as more characteristic of tweed fabric or the lifestyle associated with it.
Tweed suggests a certain British country aesthetic—academic, outdoorsy, and traditionally upper-middle-class.
A person described as tweedier than another might dress more conservatively, favor elbow patches, or exude a more professorial air.
The new department chair was tweedier than his predecessor, all wool jackets and pipe smoke.
