Over the years softer and lighter tweeds have been produced to satisfy market demands, and as looms were developed and improved the weavers have been able to produce more complex patterns, and gorgeous colour combinations echoing the natural beauty of the islands around them. One of the most wonderful things about Harris Tweed is that each length of fabric is absolutely unique - the spinning, dyeing and hand weaving ensures this and means that even when 2 jackets are cut from the same bolt of cloth they will not be exactly the same.

Owning an original Harris Tweed jacket is therefore still something of significance – up there with the great classics which make up the perfect gentleman’s wardrobe. The Brook Taverner Harris Tweed jacket is the perfect example – available in four beautiful subtle colour combinations, and at a very reasonable £185 this is a real lifetime investment, and a genuine heirloom piece which you will wear and love forever!
