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 center 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.

I bought this cap for my husband. I ordered the medium and it was a little small. It took no time to return it for the larger one. He received it today and just loves it. The fit was perfect and it looks great on him. Thank you so much for your prompt service.

I bought one for me last year and just purchased one for my son who is an avid hiker. I love the English wool (having worn the OD green Wooly Pully in the Marine Corps). The ribbing around the neck, wrists and waist is excellent.

Bought this for my son who lives in Nevada and he loves being outdoors in the cold! I m giving this to him for Christmas so he hasn t had a chance to try it on. He is tall and trim and usually wears a size large. This looks like it will fit him; I ordered a size Large. It really is a beautiful and soft sweater!!
