tweeds
Rugged wool cloth
Tweeds are garments made from tweed—a coarse, durable woolen fabric with a flecked appearance, traditionally associated with British country wear.
The plural usually refers to a suit or outfit: He wore his tweeds for the hunt.
The fabric and style suggest rural aristocracy, academia, or old-fashioned formality.
