Harris-Style Italian Wool Twill Tweed Fabric

1. Fabric overview

A premium Harris-style twill tweed fabric, made with Italian wool and a small percentage of recycled polyester for added structure. This version comes in a rich deep plum / wine purple shade, with subtle tonal flecks across the surface that give the fabric its classic tweed depth and heritage character.
This fabric is Harris-style / Harris-inspired and is not authentic Harris Tweed or made in Scotland.

2. How it’s made

Woven in a classic twill weave, this fabric has a dense diagonal structure with a warm, woolly surface. The Italian wool provides texture, insulation, and a premium handfeel, while the 10% recycled polyester is intentionally added to improve stiffness, balance, shape retention, and overall stability.
The recycled polyester does not overpower the wool-rich nature of the cloth. It simply helps the fabric hold form beautifully for structured garments like coats, jackets, blazers, and overshirts.
