The wool for Harris Tweed comes primarily from the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, where it is sourced from local sheep, particularly the hardy Hebridean breed. The wool is then spun and woven by hand in small mills on the islands, adhering to strict regulations that ensure its authenticity. This traditional craftsmanship is integral to Harris Tweed's unique quality and heritage.
Harris Tweed is a haberdashery specializing in men's tweeds, suits, jackets, trousers, overcoats, vests, and caps. They also have women's skirts, trousers, coats, and jackets available for purchase.
Harris tweed is expensive because it is all hand woven on manual treadle looms as part of a labour intensive process in the outer Hebrides. Only fabric made there in the traditional way can be called Harris tweed - just as Champagne has to come from that region else it is just sparkling wine. It is a high quality low volume product and requires great skill to produce.
In Spanish, "tweed" can be translated as "tweed" or "tejido de tweed."
You can shrink or have a Harris Tweed hat hemmed down a few centimeters in order to have a better fit on your head. Your best bet is to try washing and drying it in the dryer first, but be prepared to have the hat come out a little too small.
