With a focus on true sustainability and traceability through vertical production, this Sonsie Tweed is made from ethically sourced, mulesing-free fleece from wild-raised Shetland Sheep on the northern Scottish Islands, local to Lovat® Mill, the “Home of Tweed,” established in 1826. This unique wool uses hand-sorted shades of undyed walnut and charcoal shear colors, spun into yarn and woven as a twill with a brushed, singed melton finish for performance, a sophisticated aesthetic, and a luxurious texture. This garment is suited for any new-classic enthusiast, with an improved aesthetic and detailing in an authentic up-production inspired by the timeless, battle-tested original, known for its uniform-dress functionality.
