I did a search of traditional fisherman on google images and got these two hits:

So, which one of our number is this?

Pretty sure the second one could keep you worm on the bank side late at night.

The estate lake pike isn't bad as well!
Well, it's further proof that the younger FB liked to fish in tweeds etc...
But I digress.. the point is, tweed is warm and comfortable, but is it practical for fishing? It is not totally waterproof and when it gets slime on it...
I agree that tweed looks the part: but bearing in mind that modern clothing can be warmer and more washable, has tweed had its day on the bank, I wonder?

I think that is taking approaching the bank stealthily a bit far

I think I'd die of shock if I found myself at a quiet carp pool in the early hours with the morning mist burning off, only to be faced with 'that' shambling long the bank for a chat.

I would be wondering if someone had ordered a hit on me!
