FA SHION FOR MEN FASHION MADE S IMPL E


now, from barley corn, checked, striped, hounds tooth and herringbone. There are also plainer options, where the pattern is more discreet.


Each of these tweed patterns has their own characteristics, but all are made from the same fabric. Suits are always a popular choice but equally a tweed jacket teamed with jeans or simply an overcoat can make a real statement. The popularity of hit TV show Peaky Blinders catapulted tweed back up the popularity stakes and House of Cavani has suits in its honour, the Shelby and the Tommy tweed suit. Model and men’s blogger Rowan Row has even recreated a scene from the iconic show using suits from the store to eye-catching effect.

One of the most famous garment makers is Harris Tweed, produced by hand by crofters in the 18th century in the Outer Hebrides. It was then later introduced to British aristocracy in the 1840s by Lady Dunmore. The waterproof, insulating, heat trapping properties made tweed a clothing suitable for outdoor activities such as fishing and shooting, which is why it was adapted by the British due to the unpredictable weather.


Since then, many more designers and companies have been investing in tweed. Rightly so, as it’s still one of the most popular gentleman’s fabrics to date for its properties.


It later became popular in the 19th century Victorian middle classes who wore it for sporting, golf, cycling, tennis, motoring and mountain climbing. It’s far from the sporting clothing that we wear in today’s world. For the traditionalists however, tweed is still the fabric of choice by vintage bicyclists. Forget Lycra, it truly was the go to fabric for sports and outdoor activities back in the day.


Tweed became more popular as it entered a new phase during the first half of the nineteenth century. Many estates in Scotland were acquired by English noblemen. In 1848, Prince Albert himself purchased the Balmoral estate in Scotland, creating a buzz for needing to acquire a Scottish estate by many gentleman of money. The Balmoral Tweed is the pattern that Prince Albert himself designed which is blue with white sprinkles and crimson colour, resembling the granite mountains of Aberdeenshire. With this, the first ‘Estate Tweed’ was born. It became all the rage among estate owners to design their own special tweeds for their own land and families.


There became a distinct difference between the Clan Tartan, which is used to identify the members of the same family, and the Estate Tweed which was used to identify people who live and work in the same estate, regardless of relation. It became much like a uniform of today, but in a much more classy way.


There are many different tweed patterns to choose from


ALL AVAILABLE FROM HOUSE OF CAVANI Featured here is obviously Rowan Row. Alongside Ian Sangala, Erwin Trinidad, Fashitect and Daniel Marin – all bloggers and Instagram stars in England. The guys shot some of these photos at The Gun bar London, making the perfect backdrop for some looks. While they used classic red brick and old fashioned streets for the outdoor looks. I don’t think they could have done a better job – it’s perfect!


The guys are obviously head to toe in House of Cavani, opting for different suits to create this gangster vibe. Of course they went with the familiar round collar shirts as well and threw on their waistcoat chains to finish the look off, complete with flat caps. We can’t get enough of it and we’re extremely happy to be featured in this way. They have done us proud! So, what were the guys wearing?


THE GANGSTERS, THE BLOGGERS AND THEIR SUITS


• Rowan and Ian Sangala were both wearing the Ascari suit. Which is one of our classic brown tweed three pieces, with an overcoat on top, you can’t go wrong!


• Fashitect was wearing the Brendan Wine. A burgundy check three pieces that just livens up a room when you enter it! A modern take on Peaky Blinders!


• Daniel Marin had the Brendan Blue. Which is similar to the above, but in a bright blue check. This one is really fun, a bit more uplifting and current.


• Erwin had one of our best sellers and ultimate classics, the Albert Grey. Everyone loves this suit and it’s what we recommend if you’re wanting a historical, tweed look. It’s the perfect suit for this style.


We did a blog post before on tweed suits. As Rowan has shown us, all you need is one of our classic tweed suits (we recommend the Martez or Albert), a round collar shirt, a chain, a pair of our boots with tweed, a flat cap and a simple tie. You will be looking like a gangster in no time! The historic show has been responsible for the rise of tweed suits in fashion, as well as younger guys opting to take on this trend as well. They just can’t get enough of the cool gangsters and their style. What do you think of this cool photo shoot with Peaky Blinders inspiration?
