Win a Harris Tweed jacket worth �250
WIN a Harris Tweed jacket worth �250 in our latest web competition.
WHY not break with tradition and give the man in your life a unique present this Christmas?
A classic Harris Tweed sports jacket should fit the bill.
The iconic fabric is still woven by hand on the Western Isles of Scotland and is the only brand in the world protected by an Act of Parliament.
Supply is limited as there are now less than 94 handloom weavers left on the islands.
You may also want to watch:
Each and every jacket is woven by hand from 100 per cent pure new wool and can contain up to 20 different colours of dyed wool to give the unique Harris Tweed appearance.
Many celebrities over the years have worn the Harris Tweed fabric and this has included the British Royal Family and also well-known actors such as Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry, the super sleuth Sherlock Holmes and even the famous mountaineer George Mallory, who died on Everest in 1924.
