Crooks and Castles x Harris Tweed

Crooks and Castles look to the Outer Hebrides, an island chain off the west coast of Scotland, to collaborate with Harris Tweed. Being the only fabric in the world governed by its own Act of Parliament, Harris Tweed must adhere to its strict definition. Genuine Harris Tweed must be made from pure virgin wool which must have been dyed and spun on the islands. It must also be handwoven in the home of the weaver in the Outer Hebrides. Finally after being inspected by the governing body each piece is issued with a Harris Tweed Orb Mark.
