Harris Tweed

The divided Isle of Lewis and Harris in the Outer Hebrides archipelago off northwest Scotland is wild, windy and world famous. It is, together with North and South Uist, Benbecula and Barra, the legally designated home of Harris Tweed. Updated patterns bursting with color and contemporary styling for today's fashion-forward consumer are included in new assortment, as well as the perennials of the Harris Tweed lexicon. In 2009, Harris Tweed celebrated the 100th anniversary of its trade mark. Here's to the next 100 years.

This new bunch draws on the best of the traditional designs and gives them a modern twist.

Eskdale

John G. Hardy, the founder of his eponymous company was regarded as a bit of an eccentric. He searched out and laid claim to the most handsome country cloths in Britain, and it is in that same tradition that we now present the Eskdale Collection. For a traditional country look, the Moleskins and Corduroys complete the collection. Both are available in two weights, and are perfect for cooler days and for outdoor pursuits.

QX

Our QX2 range has a new and improved plain weave construction and is woven from unique Super 150's yarns which are specially spun to give added volume, body and weight. It is unique among luxury tropical suiting's. This fabric is woven in England using carefully guarded, proprietary finishing techniques that give the cloth a soft, cool touch and beautiful drape. This exceptional cloth is sure to become the new benchmark for year-round wear.

While it borders Northern Ireland, Donegal is the northernmost county in the Republic of Ireland, The tweed is characterized by a plain-weave cloth of differently-coloured warp and weft, with small flecks of yarn in eye-catching hues: everything from heather purples, grassy greens, fuchsia pinks, gorse yellows, sea blues and earthy browns, all woven intermittently into the mix to create what's known in the trade as a heathered effect.

QZ2 is a truly a luxurious Super 150's medium weight twill suiting range that is neither fragile nor delicate, it tailors to perfection and wears like iron. Another big story is a range of worsted flannels that complete the collection. QZ is luxury English suiting that performs impeccably and can be worn comfortably most of the year.
