Harris Tweed


 

In order to bear the name "Harris Tweed," the fabric must be made from pure virgin wool produced in Scotland, spun, dyed and finished in Outer Hebrides and hand-woven by the islanders at their own homes in the Islands of Lewis , Harris, Uist, Barra and their several purtenances and all known as the Outer Hebrides.  You can learn more about the Harris Tweed tradition by visiting the web site of the Harris Tweed Authority, www.harristweed.com.  We believe Harris tweed to be an excellent fabric for any Highland country gent!

 

We offer a range of kilts and jackets made from authentic, hand woven Harris tweed cloth in a variety of patterns (see below).  Harris tweed kilts make a fine alternative to the standard tartan kilt.  And Harris tweed kilt jackets have long been a staple of the Highland wardrobe.

 

We offer Harris Tweed kilts in either a four yard, box pleated style (typical of the late eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century), as well as a knife pleated kilt made from approximately 5 yards of cloth.  All kilts are hand tailored by our own museum curator, Matthew Newsome (pictured right). 

 

BOX PLEATED KILT (4yd): $350.00

KNIFE PLEATED KILT (5yd): $382.50

Prices based on average measurements.  Measurements greater than 46" subject to surcharge.

 

To order your kilt we will need waist, hip, and length measurements, as per the measurement guide on our main kilt page (click here).

 

Kilt jackets are supplied with a vest in matching tweed, and are available either with a gauntlet cuff or plain cuff.  Order by standard US jacket (sport coat) sizes.

Pictured to the left is a detail from "Sheep Washing in Glen Lyon" by Richard Ansdell (1815-1885), showing a tweed kilt, knife pleats, and made from approximately 5 yards of cloth.

As all Harris Tweed is woven by hand in limited runs, all orders will be subject to availability.  (If you have a second choice, please let us know that when you order).  The recommended procedure is to call or email in advance to let us know the cloth you are interested in, so that we can confirm availability.
