Yes!! They have arrived, the brand new berets in genuine Harris Tweed™.
"Harris Tweed means a tweed has been hand-woven by the islanders at their homes in the Outer Hebrides, finished in the islands of Harris, Lewis, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra and their several purtenances, and made from pure virgin wool dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides". This definition of Harris Tweed became statutory when the Harris Tweed Act was passed in 1993. Only tweed made this way can be given the Harris Tweed trademark 'Orb' stamp, which the Harris Tweed Authority gives to every piece of the cloth.
With the berets in Harris Tweed, Laulhère shows innovation in a classic product with classic material.
These berets make an excellent fit on both men and women; to accompany denim, a three piece suit or a leather biker outfit: très chic, très hip, très sexy!
Available in the weaves Prince the Galles, Chevron Marron Beige and Chevron Bleu in 10 pouces / 28cm diameter, fitted with the Héritage label and a soft cotton headband that can be worn folded inwards (classic Basque) or outwards (military style).
Size information: S - 54/56, M - 57/58 and L - 58/60.
I absolutely love tweed in suits, waistcoats, overcoats and etc. But, I'm not convinced about tweed berets. I'll reserve judgement until I've seen one in person.
