Cara Trouser
Royal Military Tattoo
Harris Tweed Hebrides have worked in partnership with the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and its Chief Executive and Producer, Brigadier David Allfrey MBE FRGS, to design a cloth unique to them. The event itself incorporates displays from the British Armed Forces—Army, Navy and Royal Air Force—with a spectacular firework display lighting up the night sky at the end of every performance. The pigment choice illustrates the deep blue of a moody evening sky whilst uniting the military colours in a speckle across the wide herringbone base, much like subtle pyrotechnics.

Harris Tweed
Harris Tweed is handwoven from pure virgin wool, in crofts in the Outer Hebrides. The wool is taken from sheep with dense and springy wool, resulting in a resilient and robust heavy-weight tweed. Because it is handwoven, the weave is slightly looser than other tweeds, meaning the fabric has a natural movement to it.

Herringbone
Herringbone, also called broken twill weave, describes a distinctive V-shaped weaving pattern. It is distinguished from a plain chevron by the break at reversal, which makes it resemble a broken zigzag. The pattern is called herringbone because it resembles the skeleton of a herring fish.
