Woven in Scotland, Harris Tweed is one of the most iconic fabrics on Earth. These heavyweight 18oz pure woolens are famous for their warmth, durability, and complexity. Their style is enduring and timeless. Garments crafted in Harris Tweed are treasured heirlooms passed down from one generation to the next.
By law, all Harris Tweed must be produced in the Scottish Outer Hebrides and nowhere else. Every inch of wool is dyed and spun in an island mill. Every yard is handwoven at on treadle-powered looms inside individual homes. Weaver’s skills take months to learn and years to master - and every step of the Harris Tweed process is in the hands of skilled islanders.
Harris Tweed is literally dyed in the wool, with separate pigments of wool carefully blended to special ‘recipes’ before being spun. Just one single yarn can contain several different tones - each reflecting aspects of Scottish nature. Heathers, mosses, lochs, mountains and sky are all entwined to make this peerless cloth.
