Harris Tweed, 3 Ways!

Harris Tweed - the fabric synonymous with UK countrywear and Collegiate styling has seen a recent resurgence. What's not to love about Harris Tweed? It's still handwoven on the Outer Hebrides, an island chain off the coast of Scotland. You can spend lots of time searching for some great photos of Harris Tweed production - let's see some jackets!

First up is something out of my dreams, a 60's-era Ivy-styled Harris Tweed. The golden brown background anchors a micro-check pattern of a variety of colors that truly needs to be enjoyed in person! The jacket is a superb cut with all of the essential details - 3/2 roll front, undarted "sack," and rear hook vent. Ready to wear - size 38 Short. Buy it here!

Next up is a mind-blowing offering: a Harris Tweed in a 36 Regular. I apologize, but too many sellers list mis-measured 38's as 36's, so this is extra special! This isn't your average light gray herringbone tweed. Take a look at that windowpane overcheck and multi-colored fleck patterns. Herein lies the difference with Harris Tweed: the subtleties only found in a handwoven fabric. Bid on it here!

Finally is proof that straightforward styling is never boring when it's Harris Tweed. (No, I'm not getting paid off, I just love the fabric!) This 2-button sport coat is a dark gray herringbone. Woven into the gray however, are dark blue and yellow (!) threads. This creates an incredible visual texture which seems to come to life in the light. A 40 Regular, Bid on it here!

There's so much more to come - thanks for reading!
