I wear brown or grey tweed to work very often (college professor, gotta have that tweed + elbow patch look!) and I just realized something about my tweed jackets... I have no idea if they're full canvased, half canvased, fused, or nothing at all.
All of my regular suits and sport coats are fully canvased (Canali, Zegna, Brooks, etc) and advertised as such. I know canvasing helps the jacket drape better and stand up to dry cleaning without bubbling, and in general adds cost and durability. Yet I almost never see tweed jackets advertised as canvased or not.
Does the heft of the tweed jacket fabric make canvas unnecessary? Are there any advantages to canvasing with a thick tweed fabric? I've tried pinch tests on tweed jackets and maybe its the heft of the fabric but I can't tell if there's canvas there or not.
