Wool Recycled Polyester Heavyweight Tweed Fabric
1. Fabric overview

A heavyweight wool-blend tweed fabric woven in two classic structures: herringbone weave and twill weave. With a dense 410 GSM weight and a width of approx. 56 inches, this fabric has a substantial, structured feel suited for outerwear, tailoring, and heritage-style sewing projects.

Available in:
Twill Weave

2. How it’s made

This fabric is woven using a wool-rich blend of 70% wool and 30% recycled polyester. The wool gives the fabric its warmth, texture, and natural tweed character, while the recycled polyester is intentionally added to provide stiffness, body, balance, and improved structure to the cloth.

The polyester content is not used to dilute the fabric, but to support the heavier tweed construction and help the fabric hold shape beautifully in coats, jackets, and tailored garments.
