Harris Tweed – Well Worth The Restoration

Sometimes when one shops on e-bay it could result in the most epic failure of smelly, over-sized, not quite as described purchase that you are lucky you even get an answer back if trying to return.

But once in a blue, a great seller comes along who measures correctly, takes great photos, and offers a fail proof description plus great return policy. Such was the case when I purchased two tweed jackets a few months ago. My favorite of the two is a beautiful herringbone tweed.

Upon arrival, it was a tad too large but Matt at IMPARALI got it fitted perfectly. What I really enjoyed about this restoration was that this is a REALLY quality brand of tweed rich in history. In fact, this is a much better jacket than most retailers can offer at a fraction of the cost. The jacket was made by Harris Tweed which happens to be hand woven and will most likely last a lifetime plus one or two more.

The total for the jacket was about $90 after tailoring.
