coming soon: the harris tweed collection

I'm very happy to announce that we have a wee Harris Tweed collection coming to the shop, in the form of four handsome men's jackets.

One of my favorite things about Harris tweed is the idea that you can see the beautiful range of colors of the Scottish Hebrides islands woven into the fabric itself.  Every aspect of Harris tweed is made on this archipelago, from the spinning to the dying and the weaving of the cloth, making these jackets very special.  (You can read much more about Harris Tweed on the official website.)

They will begin arriving in the shop soon!
