Trend Alert: Menswear Fabrics in the Home

Take note: Menswear fabrics in the form of woolen check, Harris tweed, and houndstooth more are making their way from London's Savile Row into the modern home. From the newly opened Rivertown Lodge in Hudson to the home of Margaret Howell (who made Irish tweed cool again), here are three examples of menswear as home fabrics and several ways to get the look at home.
