Recently, I read an account of a man who was seen wearing a "worsted tweed" suit. What is "worsted tweed"? Does it even exist--it sounds like a contradiction in terms to me? Or am I merely displaying my sartorial ignorance? Perhaps the author meant a "faux tweed" like Porter & Harding's "Glorious Twelfth" (now discontinued, I believe)* or Hardy's Alsport. Anyway, can some knowledgeable personage please enlighten me?
*Update, just realized that it was the "Solway" collection that got the axe (IIRC), not the somewhat heavier Glorious Twelfth.
