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.
