The Tweed Jacket, in navy.
Donegal tweed.
Woven in Ardara.
Woven on the Atlantic edge of Ireland, by a family who have done it for six generations. The yarn is spun and dyed close to the loom, and the colours come from what surrounds it: the sea, the hills, the changing sky.
Here, a vivid Shamrock green with glints of gold running through it. From across a room it reads as green. Come closer, and the gold appears.
One pair of hands,
start to finish.
Every piece is cut and sewn in Belfast by one of our sewists, who sees it through from the first cut to the last stitch.
We keep our making close to home on purpose. Belfast was once the linen capital of the world, and the skills that built it are rare now. Making here is how we keep them alive.

The lining
The surprise is
on the inside.
Open the jacket and something catches the light.
Inside is our Loinnir linen, black Irish linen beetled until it sparkles. Loinnir is an Irish word for sparkle.
The cloth is taken to Upperlands, to the last beetling mill in the world, and beaten under wooden hammers until it begins to shine. It is a craft that very nearly disappeared. One man still keeps the old way alive. Our part is to make it modern.
You will know it is there. Everyone else only catches a glimpse.
