A protected trademark, every roll of Harris Tweed is checked and stamped with the orb of the Harris Tweed Authority. This age old cottage industry has garnered a much deserved cult following the world over. We import our Harris Tweed directly. Each and every length is issued with a unique label of authentication which we hand sew into every suit. A heavy weight hand woven cloth, these are perfect for winter blazers, overcoats and full suits. We can also craft winter nehru jackets & gilets from these gorgeous fabrics. |
