[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Harris Tweed

Posted: 10/22/2005 9:04:15 PM EDT

I want a Harris tweed coat (brand doesn't really matter, but the material does) for the wintertime. Anybody know of places online (yes, goddammit, I tried googling it) that sell Harris tweed coats in big and tall sizes?

Who here owns coats like these? They're really nice and warm in the winter, and nice enough to wear with a tie. Plus they give you that English-schoolteacher look that strikes fear into the hearts of all children.

Real Harris Tweed is made exclusively from wool that comes from sheep raised on one of the islands off the coast of Scotland. I forget the name of the island.
All others are imitators.
You can find them, but I haven't looked for them recently.
Very nice jackets.

Wearing them got me chicks in high school and college. There is nothing I love in winter more than a Harris Tweed.

Yeah, I know. They're hard to find and expensive, but worth it in my experience.
