Harris Tweed, which is made in the Scottish Outer Hebrides, is one of the most sought after wool textiles in the world. Made on one island with two names, separated only by a mountain range - the islands of Lewis and Harris.
The story begins with pure new wool, which is blended together to take advantage of its unique quality and characteristics. The wool from which Harris Tweed is made comes mainly from herds kept on the mainland of Scotland. The island communities join together in early summer to shear the local sheep and add their locally grown wool to the mainland pruning.
Harris Tweed is the most famous fabric in the world and certainly the only one protected by a law of Parliament. Only the experienced artisans of the Outer Hebrides know how it is made and they are the only ones which are entiteled by the law to do so. Its design and production methods offer endless options in terms of weight, colours and fabric patterns that perfectly meet the requirements of today's fashion. The hand and eye skills which are neccessary for weaving the threads have been passed down through many generations and can only be found in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
Avoid machine washing: Wool caps should not be machine washed as they may shrink and lose their shape. We therefore recommend dry cleaning
Store correctly: Store in a cool, dry place preferably flat or hanging. Protect from direct sunlight, to prevent fading.
Brush after use: A light brush will prevent dust settling into the fibres.
- Do not wash

To measure your hat size, wrap a tape measure around your head just above your ears. The tape should fit comfortably – not too tight. Round up to the nearest size.
If you have no tape measure, you can measure with a string, which you then measure with a ruler.

An Ivy Cap is a part of the Flat cap family, the Ivy cap sometimes also called Sixpence cap, Scally cap or Duckbillcap.
The Ivy Cap offers a minimalistic style that is both functional and fashionable. Ivy caps have a more rounded shape, which makes it tighter than a regular Flat cap.
Ivy caps can also be sewn in 6-pieces (Sixpence) and have a similar look to Newsboy caps, however, these caps have a leaner body than the paperboy and they omit the button at the top.
