In our ceaseless quest to dress the nation properly, The Chap has created a tweed jacket for gentlemen, in conjunction with renowned tweed merchants Walker Slater.
The Chap Tweed Jacket comes in an all-round shade of bottle green with a classic hacking jacket construction, with a single rear vent, three buttons and a ticket pocket. Unlike a hacking jacket, however, the pockets are straight, not slanted, a feature we considered more versatile and suitable for town and well as country wear. the tweed is a medium-weight Harris Tweed with a herringbone pattern.
Walker Salter are an Edinburgh-based menswear company specialising in tweed, and have previously produced a three-piece linen suit for The Chap Collection. Later this year another tweed jacket in a different colour will be produced, along with trousers and a waistcoat.

A brilliant tweed! I hope the company responsible for overseeing the Olympiad will have some sort of products for sale on the Saturday. There better be tea this time too. Really..
Sir, there will be tea and tweed in voluminous quantities at the Chap Olympiad this year!
