About us - Live for Tweed

We, Live for Tweed, are a passionate, family-run business dedicated to offering timeless, retro, country, designer, and vintage clothing. We pride ourselves on searching for vintage garments and popular tweed brands from all over the country, as well as salvaging desirable modern and vintage garments from landfills. We bring these pieces back to life through upcycling and reusing, with a focus on items such as men's and women's tweed jackets, vintage tweed jackets, hacking jackets, blazers, ladies shooting jackets, shooting country field coats, country coats, men's waistcoats, and British vintage mens coats including top brands Crombie, Aquascutum, Harris Tweed, Dunn & Co and many more..


It may come as a surprise that a staggering £140 million (around 350,000 tonnes) of used clothing is thrown away into UK landfills each year, despite two-thirds of British consumers buying and/or receiving second-hand clothing. We are immensely thankful for every item purchased from Live for Tweed, as it helps the environment by decreasing waste.


Our wide range of products includes vintage and modern tweed jackets and blazers from popular tweed brands such as Harris Tweed, Bladen Supasax, John G Hardy, Joule's ladies and tweed jackets, St Michaels, and Brook Taverner. These stylish and timeless items can be dressed up or down for any occasion. In addition, we offer a selection of men's vintage overcoats from Crombie, Dunn & Co, Burton, Aquascutum, and Burberry. As for vintage tweed jackets and blazers, our inventory is vast and of excellent quality from well-known tweed brands like Harris Tweed, Gieves & Hawkes, St Michaels, Dunn & Co, Canda, Bladen Supasax, Brook Taverner, and Gurteen Esquire.


Our range of ladies' tweed jackets, blazers, designer coats, field and shooting coats, wax jackets, country gilets, and Joules jackets has something to fit everyone's style. Furthermore, our brands include Aquascutum, Burberry, Harris Tweed, Aquascutum, Eastex, Joules, Daks, and Barbour.

 

We also stock men's vintage waistcoats crafted from wool, moleskin, doeskin, tweed, and leather from Foxley, Dunn & Co, Lambourne, Derby Tweed, and more. Moreover, you can find men's and ladies' wax jackets from Used Barbour wax jackets, Barbour Backhouse, Driza-Bone, Royal Spencer, and many other country wax jacket brands.

 

Our tweed breeks and trousers, designed for shooting, hunting, riding, and country sports, come from Harris Tweed, Walker & Hawkes, Bladen, Dunn & Co, and other well-known tweed brands.

 

We also offer vintage scarves from Tootal, Duggie, and Sammy featuring eye-catching paisley, retro, and vintage designs.


At Live for Tweed, we believe that condition and quality are essential, so we thoroughly examine each item from the exterior tweed to the interior linings and do not overlook any details. We steam and/or dry clean every piece with a high pressure and temperature of 245F to get rid of any germs, store it for a week and check it once more before listing it for sale. That way, we can ensure the highest standard for our customers. For a comprehensive description of our grading system, please take a look at our Condition Guide. With our commitment to customer service, quality, and condition, we strive to become the go-to online destination for vintage and preloved clothing.
