Matching textures; an outfit's feel

[Jock Scot]

I don't know the technical terms of weaving and tweed, but all tweed cloths are most definitely not the same. In my experience the tweed that many of us wear for shooting, fishing etc. are very heavy weight often 22oz plus and tend to be quite normally on the slightly hairy side. Harris tweed can be extremely hairy, like my own kilt jacket and the lighter weight Harris tweed cloth tends to be less hairy. Light weight tweed generally tends to be on the smooth side in my experience.

As an afterthought, I know of no one who actually troubles to match textures, I must confess that it has never occurred to me.
