The Tweed Jacket has been a staple in men's clothing since the late 19th century and it is closely associated with John Lewis, one of the UK’s most iconic department stores. The Tweed Jacket became popular when British aristocrats began wearing them on their hunting and fishing trips, and the trend quickly spread to everyday wear. 
In the early days of the John Lewis department store, it was known for its range of country clothing, including tweed jackets for both men and women. These tweed jackets soon became a popular fashion item, offering both style and practicality. In the 1920s, John Lewis began producing its own tweed jackets, and they remain one of the store’s best-selling items to this day.
