tweediest
Roughest woven fabric
Tweediest is the superlative form of tweedy, describing someone or something most resembling or associated with tweed fabric and its cultural connotations.
Tweedy suggests a British country-gentleman aesthetic—think elbow patches, academic environments, and rural pursuits.
The tweediest person in a group would be the one most embodying this old-fashioned, professorial, or upper-class English style.
He was the tweediest of the Oxford dons, complete with pipe and leather satchel.
