Review: Holland & Sherry Moorland Tweeds (book 1983)
Verdict: The best tweed collection in the world.
Hall Madden full review: Densely woven tweeds that can be worn as suits or blazers. This traditional country suiting uses 2-ply yarns to create complex color and depth. Inspired by the landscapes of Scotland, these rustic hues of the moorlands come thru in brilliant blues, mossy greens and lush browns..
Holland & Sherry Mill description: Moorland Tweed is a traditional country suiting, woven from 100% worsted wool. A bespoke colour palette of two ply yarns have been created, and when woven together, create an opulent fabric of complex colour and depth. The palette is inspired by dramatic Scottish landscape- the heathery hues found on the moorlands, the slate blue mountain slopes, green lichen on the trees and the fern-studded embankments of the moorland springs. The fabrics in this bunch have been carefully selected to highlight the traditional qualities needed for the weather-beaten terrain of the Scottish Highlands and they reflect the ancestral legacy of Scotland's clans and landowners. Today, we see many variations of estate tweeds as their popularity continues to grow. These functional fabrics with their rustic heritage, offer warmth, protection and camouflage from the elements on the moors, and have become the ultimate choice for country sports and outdoor wear.
