    Following the love for our signature tweed jacket, we are delighted to introduce this season’s new colourway — a playful mix of heritage and romance. Crafted from rich burgundy Donegal tweed woven in Ardara, its flecked weave carries the story of Irish craftsmanship in every thread. Lined in our soft Kindred pink tumbled linen and finished with our signature oversized bow detail at the back, it is a piece that blends strength with a touch of whimsy.

    This jacket’s refined double-breasted silhouette, softly structured shoulders and gentle flare make it as suited to countryside weekends as to city evenings. The pink bow at the back offers an unexpected flourish, inviting a second glance and making this jacket a true statement piece of The Quiet Kingdom. The bow is detachable, so you can wear it with or without.

    Pair with tailored trousers for a classic look, or with our linen blouses and denim for a softer, off-duty take. However you style it, this is a jacket to return to season after season — a piece that becomes part of your own story.

    A House Signature

    The Tweed Jacket, in other cloths

    One shape, more than one cloth.

    The designer A man’s jacket, her way

    Our Creative Director, Amy, designed the Tweed Jacket for our first Donegal tweed collection, launched for her thirtieth birthday. Kindred had grown up alongside her, and she wanted a cloth with more weight to it. She found it in Donegal.

    Tweed had always been cut for men: boxy, serious, built to last. Amy wanted to reimagine that jacket for today without losing what made it good. She kept the double-breasted shape, then added a bow at the back that only shows as you walk away. Masculine from the front, feminine from behind.

    It began as a small experiment, and became our best-loved tweed.

    Read our founders’ story

    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 rich burgundy, flecked with colour you only notice up close.

    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.
