Brook & Dean HARRIS TWEED 100% Wool Herringbone Sports Jacket. Academia

There's something rather special about owning a garment made using genuine Harris Tweed. A unique twill fabric woven on the remote Outer Hebridean islands of Scotland, Harris Tweed is a material that is as iconic as it is unique, and was once upon a time more important to hardy Scottish crofters than to dedicated fashion followers as it is today. Crafted to allow islanders to cope with the harsh climate found in the desolate North Atlantic, this hand-woven and hardwearing fabric wasn't just used as a barrier against the elements. It was such an impressive product that it was frequently used as a form of currency, often being traded on the mainland for goods or food, and occasionally used to pay rents. This coat is in great condition with the only known flaw being that the stitching on the inside liner is coming apart on the left side as can be seen in the last picture. Easy fix or wear as is. Also to note, there is no size identification on this so please review the measurements. Please ask any questions you think you may have to ensure a confident purchase.
