TWEED, THE HARD WEARING FABRIC FAVOURED BY THOSE WITH A LOVE OF THE GREAT OUTDOORS HAS BEEN ADAPTED INTO BULLET-PROOF CLOTHING.
A Scottish company is now producing jackets and waistcoats with body armour sewn into the fabric. The clothes will stop shot gun blasts and other gunshots thanks to ceramic plates inserted in their linings. The tweed “soft armour” also includes a weave of a super stregth synthetic fibre called aramid that diverts bullets off at an angle.
Just the thing when you next go hunting with Dick Cheney who not so long ago mistook a hunting partner for a quail!

Born in 1949 and christened John Handel Lawson Cutler, I am the fourth generation of my family to take up the tailor's shears. I joined the family business straight from school at 16 years of age. Even before then I had always shown a very keen interest in bespoke tailoring and shirt making.
