FD193 : Tokyo Tweed

The Tokyo Tweed

The Tokyo Tweed is a unique cloth woven by the historic Fox Brothers mill in Somerset, celebrating the friendship between two gentlemen with a shared passion for classic menswear—Mr. Douglas Cordeaux in Great Britain and Mr. Akamine in Tokyo, Japan. Inspired by mutual respect, craftsmanship, and timeless style, it represents a sartorial partnership that spans continents while remaining rooted in tradition.

Its rich Country–City mélange combines the earthy colours of Somerset with the understated sophistication of Tokyo. Distinctly British in pattern, The Tokyo Tweed is equally at home in a gentleman’s club or on a country estate, yet its character reflects the meeting of two cultures united by a love of exceptional cloth and those who create it.

Designed for versatility, The Tokyo Tweed makes a superb sports jacket, perfectly paired with charcoal or mink flannels, rich stone corduroys, or even dark Japanese denim for a more relaxed approach. Woven by Fox Brothers, this distinctive winter tweed is destined to become a future classic—an enduring cloth that celebrates friendship, heritage, and the art of dressing well.
