Fabric
Shetland tweed is made using wool from Shetland sheep. These sheep have a naturally soft and fine wool, which is then spun to create a tight and thin tweed fabric with a slightly shaggy finish.
Fabric Details
- Weight: 400/G/M2(Midweight)
- Outer: 100% Wool
- Lining: 100% Viscose
Fabric Care
- Dry clean only.
- Do not iron.
- Do not tumble dry.
For small marks, we advise the use of a damp cloth and a small amount of clean water. A clothing brush or lint roller will remove dust or pet hair.
Shetland Donegal
Similar to the iconic Donegal pattern, our Shetland Donegal tweeds feature a mélange of colours woven to give a similarly speckled appearance. The style is more subtle than a typical Donegal with small, subtle spots of colour giving the cloth depth and tremendous versatility.
The quality of the fabric is great for the price, and it has a great feel on the skin. I would say the suit is made for a relatively athletic build (shoulders and chest are definitely not too tight) as I am 1,92cm (6'3) and weighs 80 kg, I took the 40L jacket and 34L trousers. The trousers are on the slimmer side, especially for those of us with meaty thighs, but the overall look works as the waist is quite marked.
The notched lapel rises a bit high in my opinion, almost reaching the shoulder, so careful if you have a neck on the thinner side, maybe another model would be better suited for you, otherwise, it is a fantastic buy!
The only bit that needs altering would be the sleeve length , as they are 3cm longer on a long fit than on a regular fit where 1.5cm would have sufficed for me, but that's nothing your local tailor can't handle easily.
Overall a great suit !
The jacket is well made and accommodates those with a military posture, I would further say that the Edward style jacket is made with that feature in mind.
The colour is much darker than shown, it appears more tan with bright green tints. But as with all tweeds from Walker Slater it depends on the light source as the colours appear different in natural and artificial light.
I've been admired by ladies. That's new. Is it me or the suit? Me, of course...
The suit arrived via FedEx, very well folded in a parcel. And very quick too (I live in south of France, it took 2 days). When I opened it, I fell in love with it. The tweed is of very high quality, the cut is fantastic, exactly like in the picture. No threads hanging, no button loose... The suit is simply perfect. The trousers, as mentionned in an earlier review, have a normal rise, not low waist, which is perfect to wear with the waistcoat. If something could be improved perhaps is the addition of extra buttons to wear braces. They are half lined as well so they are very comfortable. And the jacket... the fit is superb !
Simply superb. Thank you so so much all the staff at Walker Slaters. I am not only a happy customer, I will be a regular one : I have my eyes set on other beauties of yours now. So hopefully a story that started few weeks ago will never end.
And for those who still hesitate in buying with Walker Slaters : don't. Rest assured they will do the very best for you.
Cant wait !!!
