A three piece tweed suit is a great investment for the Cheltenham Festival Not only will you stay warm and strike a sartorial pose when worn all together, it can look equally dapper when worn separately.

For a quirky look wear the trousers and waistcoat together but add a different jacket, or wear the jacket and trousers and add a different waistcoat. Dress down and wear the tweed trousers with a leather jacket, or wear the tweed jacket (with or without the tweed waistcoat) with jeans.

We’ve chosen a large over-check tweed in mid blue, made by That British Tweed Company. The blue brings the suit towards spring and the warmer weather whilst the over-check in contrasting colours makes a striking statement. The tweed fabric for this particular suit is from Pool in Wharfedale.

Available in a standard off the peg size or made to measure. Price ranges from £190–£265 for off the peg or from £259–£334 for made to measure.

Based in Leeds, Rich founded TBTC in 2015 when he had the idea to combine his two passions: tweed and a well fitted suit.

His passion for tweed started when he fell in love with a vintage Chesterfield chair reupholstered in Harris Tweed. Alas, being a student meant he couldn’t afford the chair then, but now years later it has pride of place in his office.
