Harris Tweed
The word ‘tweed’ itself is an English variant on the Scottish word ‘tweel’ which referred to the wool cloth woven by hand by Scottish highlanders and island dwellers.
We offer Harris Tweed which along with Donegal is the best tweed in the world. Tweed suits are becoming more popular with our customers, as tweed is a traditional look and a good quality tweed suit last forever. Due to modern manufacturing processes the tweed can now be produced in lighter weights making it perfect to wear all year round.
Our best cloth is Harris Tweed which originates from the beautiful remote islands of the Outer Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland and has become one of the most famous wool textiles in the world. The unique selling point of Harris Tweed is its use of local materials and hand crafted techniques. The finished cloth is inspected and stamped on the reverse side with its trademark Orb, as certification and to promote and protect the name of Harris Tweed. Our Holland & Sherry Harris Tweed collection incorporates the traditional warm, rustic colours, which have come to evoke the countryside and outdoor pursuits associated with Britishness.
