Feb. 17 NYC HARRIS TWEED FABRIC & FASHION PRESENTATION
Feb. 17 NYC HARRIS TWEED FABRIC & FASHION PRESENTATION
On Tuesday, February 17, the American Scottish Foundation will be making a presentation on Harris Tweed. The presentation will be made with the film producers and crew who are producing a documentary on the tweed. I was told that they will be filming some of the discussion at the evening, which will be in part on the specialty productions of one of the island's tweed mills. The same film group produced a three part BBC film on the history of Savile Row last year; so, this group seems to be heavily involved in traditional men’s clothing.
TIME: 6 – 8 PM, Tuesday, February 17
PLACE: Scotland House (American Scottish Foundation)
575 Madison Ave. (between 56-57 St.s), Eighth Floor
New York City
RSVP to (212) 605-0338 or MKennedy@taylorgrey.com

Thanks. My Harris tweed jackets are among the most cherished items in my wardrobe, although, judging by the reduced selection, at least in the John Hardy collection, Harris tweed might be going the way of Super 90s woolens in terms of popularity.

Not sure where the tweeds were woven.
the garments were awful. cheap machine made. I would guess they were fused as well.
