Count me in (weather permitting). I have just a single jacket that is an actual woven tweed, and that is enough to do a one day challenge. But I could easily celebrate National Denim Day all year long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/april-3rd-is-national-tweed-day#post-1632929 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 02:52:39 +0000 rachylou 1632929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are soo baadd!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/april-3rd-is-national-tweed-day#post-1632922 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 02:28:35 +0000 Anonymous 1632922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We missed National Polka-Dot Day.

It sounds like fun. Is there a national denim day? There should be.<br /> ETA: Yes, there is a National Denim Day advocating peace over violence. This year it is April 27, 2016. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/april-3rd-is-national-tweed-day#post-1632887 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 01:13:20 +0000 deb 1632887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Then, there is this.</p> <p></p> <a href="http://www.gentlemansgazette.com/tweed-guide-harris-history-styles-patterns/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gentlemansgazette.c.....-patterns/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/april-3rd-is-national-tweed-day#post-1632885 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 01:09:37 +0000 deb 1632885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also found this.</p> <p></p> <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89333730" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/templates/s.....d=89333730</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/april-3rd-is-national-tweed-day#post-1632884 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 01:08:08 +0000 deb 1632884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, that is what I read. Not sure which it really celebrates.</p> <p></p> <p></p> Tweed Day <div></div><div><strong>Date When Celebrated :</strong> Always April 3 </div><div></div><div> Tweed Day celebrates one of two things. Either it celebrates the warm, fashionable woolen clothing that originated in Scotland. Seemingly always in fashion, Tweed keeps you warm and looks good, too. It should come as no surprise to learn that tweed is more popular in the north, and not often worn in the south. </div><div></div><div> Or,...it celebrates the birthday of a corrupt , New York City politician. </div><div></div><div> William Magear "Boss" Tweed, who was born on April 3, 1823. Boss Tweed was a politician from NYC. He was a a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and a NY State Senator. His claim to fame was being convicted of graft and corruption, for stealing millions of dollars from NYC. Our problem with this theory is why a special day for a convicted crook!? </div><div></div><div> We 'd like to believe that Tweed Day celebrates Tweed suits. Conversely, do we really want to celebrate the birth date of a crook??? We'll let you make the call. </div><div></div><div><strong>Definition of Tweed:</strong> Originating in Scotland, tweed is a thick woolen , twill styled material. Tweed jackets, suits and slacks are popular. &nbsp; </div><div></div> <p> Wearing something tweed from your wardrobe is an absolute must today. But better still, buy a new tweed outfit and wear it today.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/april-3rd-is-national-tweed-day#post-1632882 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 01:01:11 +0000 Anonymous 1632882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/april-3rd-is-national-tweed-day#post-1632881 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 01:00:39 +0000 rachylou 1632881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol.
