This book considers the historical and social factors that helped to shape, change and define the characteristics of the group of fabrics that we call tweed since its emergence in the 1820s to the present day.

This is the first book of its kind to recognize the versatility of tweed and its importance in textiles and fashion today. Fiona Anderson is an Independent Scholar and Curator.
