Richard Hannay, hero of Alfred Hitchock’s The 39 Steps (1935) is another of my tweed-clad heroes.  Hannay’s tweed suit survives a chase across the Scottish highlands, including a stint under a waterfall, being shot, jumping out of a window, climbing out of a moving train and spending the night handcuffed to a beautiful girl.  After all this it’s presentable for a night at the London Palladium in the final scene of the film.
