The islanders of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra produce this luxury cloth entirely by hand and have long been known for the excellence of their weaving. Over the decades, Harris Tweed was embraced by the world, from royalty and landed gentry to Hollywood icons and the finest designers of culture. In the early 1990s the industry set out to transform and modernize itself by producing a new double width loom, re-training weavers, introducing new, tougher quality standards and marketing a new wider, softer, lighter tweed. Roark presents a co-branded jacket, cap, wallet and flask with a label of authenticity.
