Holland & Sherry’s Sherry Tweed 2025

An icon of Scottish textiles – tweed fabric with its rustic charm truly channels the spirit of Scotland’s rolling hills and rugged shores. Once the uniform of nomadic shepherds and later adopted by the landowners of the majestic Scottish estates, by the 1820’s tweed’s popularity had increased and become a fashion staple for the accomplished outdoor enthusiast.

Traditional tweeds were woven by hand using locally sourced wool and dyed with berries and leaves producing a unique, insulating fabric that helped resist the elements.

Pure virgin wool, guaranteed to be the first clip from lambs born the previous year. Thriving in areas of clean water and lush vegetation, the molecular structure of the wool fibre is consistent and uncontaminated by vegetable matter, making it soft to touch and durable to wear. The wool is quite coarse around 28µ providing the fabric with its crisp and prickly handle that typifies a true tweed fabric. Once harvested, the wool is woven and finished in the UK in the traditional, time-honoured way.
