The Italian Tweed: British Heritage Meets Biellese Craftsmanship

A timeless English aesthetic, reinterpreted through the excellence of Italian textiles.

Two Traditions, One Distinctive Style

Some styles transcend trends. Rooted in history, they evolve over time without losing their identity. The classic British aesthetic is one of them: a world of textured fabrics, distinctive patterns and understated elegance, shaped by a long tradition of tailoring and country wear.

With The Italian Tweed, CB1935 explores this heritage through a distinctly Italian perspective, bringing together the character of English-inspired style and the textile excellence of Biella, one of Italy's most renowned textile districts.

The result is a collection that looks to the past while speaking the language of contemporary elegance.

The British Influence: A Heritage of Texture and Character

Tweed has long been associated with British country style. Its rich textures, earthy tones and distinctive patterns have made it a defining element of traditional menswear, appreciated for its depth, versatility and unmistakable character.

Checks, herringbone patterns, Prince of Wales-inspired designs and subtle colour contrasts express a visual language that feels both timeless and personal.

Beyond its traditional associations, this aesthetic continues to inspire modern wardrobes. Its appeal lies in the balance between formality and ease, tradition and individuality — a style that doesn't need to follow trends to make a statement.

Biella: The Art of Italian Textiles

If British style provides the inspiration, Biella brings its own textile heritage to the story.

Located in the Piedmont region of northern Italy, Biella has built an international reputation for the quality of its textile production and its long-standing expertise in fine fabrics. Generations of textile knowledge, attention to detail and a constant pursuit of quality have helped shape the district's identity.

For CB1935, this heritage is more than a geographical connection. It represents a philosophy in which material selection, craftsmanship and respect for tradition are essential to creating distinctive accessories.

In The Italian Tweed, the relationship between fabric and design becomes central: familiar British-inspired patterns are reinterpreted through the quality and sensibility of Biellese textiles.

The County Cap: An Icon Reinterpreted

At the heart of the collection is the County Cap, a silhouette closely associated with classic British country dressing.

Its appeal lies in its distinctive shape and its ability to complement a wide range of looks. Paired with a tailored coat, a wool jacket or more contemporary everyday pieces, it adds character without overwhelming the outfit.

The collection explores this versatility through a rich selection of patterns and colour combinations, from understated herringbone and classic checks to bolder contrasts and textured Donegal-inspired designs.

Each variation offers a different expression of the same idea: a recognisable heritage silhouette, renewed through the choice of fabric and the details that define its personality.

The Italian Tweed by CB1935: Where Heritage Meets Modernity

The Italian Tweed reflects the values at the heart of CB1935: a passion for sartorial tradition, a focus on quality materials and a commitment to Italian craftsmanship.

Rather than simply reproducing a classic aesthetic, the collection creates a dialogue between different traditions. British style provides its visual identity; Biellese textiles bring depth, quality and a distinctly Italian perspective.

It is an approach to dressing that values substance over passing trends, celebrating accessories designed to express personality through texture, colour and detail.

Because true style is not about choosing between tradition and modernity. It is about knowing how to bring them together.
