We love everything about this top quality fully tailored jacket. The stylish cut. The flattering fit. The leather buttons. But mostly, we just can't say enough about the wonderful authentic Harris Tweed fabric.
Harris Tweed is one of the rarest and most loved fabrics in the world. To carry the name, by Act of Parliament, Harris Tweed must be hand-woven by the islanders of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra, in the far-flung Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Weaving is still by hand in the crofters' cottages, using pure virgin wool that has been dyed and spun locally. Every jacket carries a unique Orb label, that identifies the islander who wove its fabric. It is the world's only commercially produced hand-woven tweed.
Hundreds of distinctive patterns have evolved over the centuries, in its characteristically coarse but subtle designs in complex natural shades. We are offering four of the most popular colourways, two in a herringbone pattern and two elegantly flecked.
This stylish jacket is 100% handwoven Harris tweed with a nylon lining. It features side vents, side flap pockets, two front buttons and three buttons on each cuff. Available in chest sizes 38 to 50, in three fittings.

Recently, I purchased a Barva jacket by mail order. It replaces two much older Harris Tweed jackets that, sadly, are too now worn to continue service. I was heartened that the size would probably be right, following the purchase of a lighter weight tweed jacket from Scotweb in London. I am absolutely delighted with the new jacket and have found reasons to wear it even though our weather is getting a tad too warm. Its cut, material and timeless style are spot on and it has attrated favourable comments from friends; so much that after trying mine a friend has now ordered one as well. I am also delighted that these new weaves are now available; they are a true testament to Scots craftmanship and tradition. While I may not be able to justify it from a logical point of view, I am toying with purchasing a second one; this time in grey. Well done all concerned. Andrew Stackpool Australia

Very beautiful jacket. Light and warm I wear it in a casual way or in a more formal way as well.

Bought one a couple years ago and it is still my favorite winter jacket - warm and comfortable but stylish. Highly recommended. Harris Tweed is the best for cold weather!
