From the land comes the cloth
Globally renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and unique authenticity, Harris Tweed is a quintessentially Scottish fabric that is recognised as one of the world's premier textiles. From humble origins on the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, where it's still exclusively woven today, this expertly crafted cloth has grown to become a menswear must-have, instantly identifiable and widely admired for its coarse texture, weighty warmth, and highly protected quality standards. As the temperature begins to drop here in Edinburgh, we thought it timely to look at three of our current favourites cut from the hard wearing Hebridean icon that never goes out of style.
Drake's Harris Tweed Games Jacket in Navy
The perfect embodiment of Drake’s relaxed elegance, this tailored jacket in navy sits at the more casual end of the formal spectrum, with a slightly shorter, fuller cut. Warm and durable thanks to the sturdy 13.8oz Harris Tweed fabric, the blazer features a patch chest pocket, two flap patch side pockets, notch lapels, and a 2.5-button front closure.
Orslow Harris Tweed Jacket in Black
Trust Ichiro Nakatsu and the team at Orslow to take a wardrobe staple and transform it into something even more covetable. This relaxed, unstructured three button blazer in a timeless black Harris Tweed is part lined in tonal cotton and finished with three curved patch pockets. Thoughtfully made in Japan.
De Bonne Facture Harris Tweed Geography Teacher Jacket in Grey Windowpane
Déborah Neuberg’s De Bonne Facture brings a quiet French sophistication to proceedings with this casual jacket cut in a grey windowpane Harris Tweed. Quite frankly, if any of our geography teachers had sported something as striking as this back in the day, we’d have a lot more to say about longshore drift and soil erosion.
