Backroom Sale Tweed Jacket

The Origin of Tweed

It is commonly thought that tweed emerged in Scotland and Ireland as a way for the farmers there to battle the chilly, damp climate that characterizes those parts. Tweed began as a hand woven fabric. The cloth was rough, thick, and felted and the colors were muted and earthy.  It was truly a working man's cloth. As far as the name goes, there are a couple of theories.

1. There is a River Tweed in Scotland and the cloth was made in the Tweed Valley, and some believe that is the origin of the word.
2. A more popular legend has it that the name tweed is a twist on the Scottish word for "tweel" or twill in our parlance, which is the signature weave of the fabric.  It is said that in 1826, a London clerk accidentally transcribed an order to "tweel" and wrote "tweed" instead, and from there the name came into use.

Whatever the origin, tweed is a rugged fabric, resistant to wind and water with excellent insulating properties.

Barbour Men's Gamefair Tweed Jacket The men's Barbour Tweed Gamefair Jacket is a part of the sporting collection.  Expertly crafted with an 100% wool tweed outer.  The classic British look. An abundance of features make it extra prepared for winter,including a storm-fly front,handwarmer pockets and a relaxed fit that allows for plenty of room for layering on frosty days. Regularly $499     ON SALE $349

Backroom Sale Winter Parkas

Barbour Winter Parkas

It is 9 degrees as I type this and there is fresh snow on the ground.  While it is true this has not been a super cold winter season, today will remind you that Cincinnati does get cold.  We have a number of great winter jackets that are not being carried forward to the autumn/winter 2016 season and they are included in our Backroom Sale.  Stop in the shop and have one of the D&H crew show you some options for the cold weather. 

Barbour Ladies Landry Parka A warm quilted winter coat from Barbour.    A longer, cinched-waist silhouette refines a beautifully crafted quilted jacket with a coxy-luxe feel of faux shearling lining the collar and hood. A faux-coyote-fur ruff crowns the cold-weather style.

Barbour Men's Northolt Parka The Northolt is a military-inspired waxed parka that's a formidable force against cold weather.  This has to be one of our favorite jackets for men from Barbour in many years and we hate to see it go.  The cut is slanted for a younger, fit customer.

Bahamas Trip Report

      I returned from the Bahamas Saturday night and can't say enough about the fishing, the lodge and the guides!  We flew into Nassau last Sunday and were at the lodge by 4pm after taking a small prop plane from Nassau to Fresh Creek, Andros.  The rooms were great and I couldn't wait to be on the flats the next day.  We fished for bones and got shots at tarpon, barracuda and sharks as well.  One my first day I had the privilege to hook into two tarpon over 100 lbs, but unfortunately the battles didn't last long before my hooks straightened out.  D&H will be running trips down to the Andros Island Bonefish club every March and are even talking about starting a November trip as well!

Barracuda are all over the flats
