The body coat comes in a red and grey check which actively seems to glow due to a subtle yellow overcheck and the brushed finish. We’ve named this Maurice after the fauvist painter de Vlaminck who painted in such glorious colours. dashingtweeds.co.uk/product/… #menscoats

Shining a spotlight on our latest collection, as modeled by @eddie_wailes at the Old Marylebone Town Hall @adaytorememberlondon. Our Dufy coat is a tailored raglan, with welted pockets and cuff strap detailing. A brushed wool woven in England, a great statement coat this winter

Bomber jackets are very useful garments as part of your wardrobe, they elegantly bridge the gap between a ‘devil may care’ rock look, something to keep you warm and a place to stash your stuff. Our Wild check in warm tones of mustard and burgundy. dashingtweeds.co.uk/product/…

Thank you to @adaytorememberlondon for letting us shoot our latest collection in the Marylebone Town Hall. A grand setting for our new collection, celebrating our 20th anniversary of Dashing! #DashingTweeds #MaryleboneTownHall #PortmanMarylebone

The most exciting garment this season is our Everything Jacket, also known as the Teba jacket. Originally worn by the Spanish crack shot Count Teba, this casual jacket has a famously shaped collar which elegantly drapes around your neck. #DashingTweeds #tebajacket #tweedjacket

Our Maurice cloth in production @MartonMills. We really liked their brushed wool quality, so we developed our own design, and they kindly wove it for us. dashingtweeds.co.uk/product/… #DashingTweeds #MartonMills #TweedProduction #weaving #wool

Raglan coats have become very popular in recent years and they offer a relaxed fit that curves elegantly off the shoulders. Our Viridian coat is a stand out piece this season, and we only tailored five coats in this colourway. dashingtweeds.co.uk/product-…

A close up of our Wild design, tailored into a womenswear coat. We can tailor any style of coat, suit or jacket in this cloth, so pop in to discuss it further. #DashingTweeds #womenstailoring #coats #tailoredcoats #tweedcoats

Once our designs are developed on the loom, we then CAD them up to test out different colour and scale options. Naomi is head of design development and cloth production. So if you need any bespoke cloth, Naomi is on hand to assist you. #bespokedesign #woventextiles #designer

When we design a new collection, we decide what yarns and colours to work with, and then we sample a range of different patterns directly onto the loom. Our aim is always to try something new, and challenge what has come before. #DashingTweeds #WovenTextiles #tweeds #design

In the ‘Prussian’ design we have used two very similar navy yarns to subtle effect. One of the yarns features neps in dark shades making the basket weave pattern of the design very subdued and creating an overall effect of texture in a very sophisticated way. #DonegalWool

The basket weave pattern with navy and oatmeal yarns creates a striking graphic design; an instant classic that will go with anything, we have named this ‘Marquet’ as the shapes are often found in fine wood marquetry. #DashingTweeds #tweed #donegalyarns #woveninscotland

Our ‘Charing Cross’ design in soft Donegal wool is a warm yellow version of the green ‘Normandy’ tweed. The overall effect of the 16oz cloth harks back to the palette used in the more colourful eras of fashion. #DashingTweeds #Tweed #NewCollection #Wool #Tailoring

For more subdued occasions our ‘Honfleur’ design in soft Donegal strikes a balance between a creative texture and the elegance of navy blue. The strong dark blue twill dominates the design and matches the warp threads, creating parallelogram shapes diagonally across the fabric.

The ‘Normandy’ design is predominately emerald green with a strong diagonal twill running across the verticals of black, grey, lime green and burgundy. dashingtweeds.co.uk/product/…

‘Maurice’ is the name for our radiant orange and red check, named after Maurice de Vlaminck who used raw paint tones in the most daring way. The check is an elegant 4 inch rectangle against a dark grey ground and woven in a wool with a brushed finish. #DashingTweeds #wool

To compliment our collection we have added three new basket weave designs, this is Viridian. Extending the colour range of these very successful patterns. They are all woven in wonderfully thick wool and create a fabulous 26oz cloth suitable for luxuriously warm overcoats. #wool

Our ‘Wild’ design incapsulates the whole mood of 'Les Fauves' painting genre. The unashamedly large scale check sets the tone, a neutral grey against a rowdy riot of burnt sienna, orange and purple, brought to harmony with the use of dark navy yarns. #DashingTweeds #tweeds
