Tweed is fantastic. Keeps you dry on shorter runs, such as a commute, dries fairly quickly, keeps you warm, feels great on.
Does anyone have any experience of buying tweed gear online?
I did a bit of research into getting some breeks a while ago and found a few places:

Most of this stuff is designed for fat-arsed pheasant eaters so it doesn't have the slimline cut of the rapha tweed detail breeks (which are mostly lycra, anyway) but there must be somebody out there that offers a happy medium.
