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.
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 deep navy that reads plain from across a room, and is anything but up close. Flecks of other colours surface, spun into the yarn long before it meets the loom.
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.
