Going on a ride in London on Saturday which requires everyone to wear Tweed, so any funny suggestions you may have for me before I start to search the charity shops.

Cheers

rapha's the only decent tweed to ride in.

I have an Austin Reed tweed jacket which fits rather well. It is comfortable to ride gently in and looks good. He says firmly.

If you are wearing tweed trousers make sure you wear long pants underneath or your thighs and bum will look like something on a butcher's slab

Anyway, you going to tell us why tweed? Is it a gentleman mountain bikers campaign for more city shooting?

Rapha tweed? Pfft.

Dashing Tweeds do the most splendid cycling tweeds known to man. Bespoke, so a bit late for this weekend. Even Mr Fisher agrees with me:

I've seen instructions online for turning full-length trousers into 3/4 length riding trousers, such as would have been worn by the more refined riding gentleman of yesteryear. A quick Google should turn them up.

Have a look at [url= http://www.3speedtour.com/ ]http://www.3speedtour.com/[/url] and [url= http://tweed.cc/ ]http://tweed.cc/[/url] for inspiration.

I need a tweed jacket for riding to work, to go with my new beard.

Tweed is the theme of the ride so it would seem bad taste to turn up without any I got a Tweed suit from a charity shop today, maybe I'll post some pictures to give you all a laugh

Thats a photo outside his shop in Covent Garden.
