In the shadow of the Bluestack Mountains in northwestern Ireland, the town of Donegal has been renowned for its handwoven wool tweed for generations. A skilled weaver, working at a bench loom, could make up to 30 yards of fabric in a day, using home-raised wool that was often dyed using natural and local materials including moss, yellow gorse, and blackberries. Today the town's largest manufacturer of wool tweed is the Magee, Molloy & McNutt factory, which presides over Donegal's town centre in a large redbrick building. About 25 local craftsmen still work on hand looms in their homes, filling the demand for the bespoke look of a well-tailored tweed suit or cap. This classic herringbone-patterned hat is 100% wool and handcrafted in Ireland.

Superb craftsmanship and superior fabric give this cap a five star rating. It is an excellent accessory for a fine suit or casual clothing. I would buy another without hesitation. The names of the artisans on the inside tag is a nice touch too!

This is a beautiful wool sweater with a versatile collar. I really appreciate the blue accent in the ribbing.The green marl color is subtle and attractive.
