History of Harris Tweed Fabrics
Harris Tweed is not a weaver or a brand, but a label awarded by the Harris Tweed Authority whose directory includes the houses and craftsmen responding to the “Harris Tweed act of parliament” of 1993:
"Harris Tweed is a tweed that has been hand-woven by islanders, at home, within the very precise perimeter of the Outer Hebrides, and more precisely in the islands of Harris, Lewis, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra. The tweed is thus made from pure new wool dyed and spun in this same region of Scotland."
Many armors exist in tweed , we find in particular the famous chevron (herringbone), rooster's foot (Shepherd's check), houndstooth (houndstooth), or even the classic plain weave, then called donegal .
A fabric too luxurious that rustic with a totally new look out of time .
