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.

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.
