Need Help On Fabric.

[vintageclothesline]

I am just about to list this 60s Adele Simpson, Harzfeld's suit on Ebay. I am calling the fabric wool and pinstripe. Then I got to thinking.. is it also tweed?? What do you think??<br><br>

I would mention tweed - it's almost like a tiny herringbone?

Okay, thanks. I will throw that word in, too!

A twill weave, perhaps?

I agree with Harriet about the tiny herringbone pattern, though it's not as defined as what one typically thinks of in a herringbone tweed--check out the swatches on this site: http://www.tweedstore.com (type "herringbone tweed" into the search bar, and it comes up with swatches in different colors). I have had coats with very similar weaves, and have sold them as tweeds or herringbone tweeds. I don't know if "tweed" is as popular as it has been over the last two winters, but if so, that'll get hits on this suit!

Thanks, Anne and Hollis. They are actually mentioned tweed in Teen Vogue as a must have for Fall, so I am definitely glad to put tweed in the title.
