An article from Posselt's Textile Journal (October 1912) on the history, designing and coloring of Scotch tweeds. It covers the origin of the name and early checks, how designers build ranges of patterns in color and stripe size, and the importance of color to buyers. A section on reversible cloths explains how face and back cloths are tied with a third centre warp, with sectional views and weave plans (Figs. 1-4) for end-and-end and two-and-one constructions.
