The new-season Gurteen Woodstock Jacket in Spice Herringbone – a very good reason to wear tweed again
Original price was: £315.00.£185.00Current price is: £185.00.
This is a particularly good piece of tweed. Gurteen call it Spice Herringbone, which neatly describes a cloth that refuses to settle for being merely brown. Olive, lovat and warm earthy tones run through the herringbone, with a restrained wine-coloured check appearing across the surface. From a few paces it looks wonderfully composed; come closer and the richness of the weave reveals itself.
Gurteen have cut it in their Woodstock Modern fit, giving the jacket a clean, shaped line without making it fashionably tight. The two-button front, neat shoulder and balanced proportions keep everything properly tailored, while the pure wool cloth has exactly the texture and substance one wants as autumn arrives.
And the photograph gets the mood exactly right. Pale blue Oxford shirt, navy knitted tie and dark cords – nothing complicated, because good tweed doesn’t require much assistance. Grey flannels, moleskins and our Pytchley cords will be equally happy companions.
A handsome pure wool jacket, beautifully cut, in one of the most interesting country cloths we’ve seen this season.

Spice is one of those wonderfully accommodating country colours. The green and lovat tones pick up olive and sage; the warmer yarns sit naturally beside brown and tobacco; while that discreet wine check gives enough colour to make blue shirts and navy knitwear look particularly good.
We’d wear the Woodstock with charcoal or mid-grey flannels when it needs to look smarter, and cords or moleskins when heading into the country. Dark navy trousers, as photographed, give the cloth a surprisingly crisp edge. Brown suede is almost inevitable – loafers in early autumn, brogues or country shoes thereafter.
But what makes the Woodstock particularly successful is the combination of cloth and cut. Herringbone supplies the texture, the subtle check supplies the character and Gurteen’s Modern fit keeps the whole thing looking sharp rather than rustic.
It is precisely what a good tweed jacket should be: interesting at close quarters, handsome across a room and remarkably easy to wear.
Beautifully tailored by our excellent English tailors Gurteen in 100% pure wool Spice Herringbone.

Gurteen – English tailors since 1784.
We have long admired Gurteen for producing properly tailored English menswear at remarkably sensible prices. Established in Suffolk in 1784, the family firm has been making cloth and clothing for more than two centuries and remains family run today. There is a reassuringly traditional quality to their tailoring – good cloths, proper construction and comfortable, masculine cuts – which is precisely why Gurteen has become such a favourite with CountryClubuk Members.
