Certainly a variety of diamond pattern tweed. Does the center dot qualify it as pheasant's eye tweed?
Were I a younger man, I might wish to research and produce an in-depth (I.e., entirely commercially non-viable.) richly illustrated history of tweed, researched (In person, of course!) in Scotland where there's still some knowledge of the myriad of patterns and their proper nomenclature. Would make one heck of a coffee table book that would cost far too much, and be of interest to far too few.
Might fly though as a limited edition subscription based book for sartorialists blessed with very abundant lucre.....
I'd buy a copy for myself and one or two as gifts.
And good point about diamond weave vis-a-vis pheasant's eye. We need somebody with more knowledge than I to answer that one though.
