Hardy Minnis' City Tweeds

 

We love a great tweed. That’s why we use England’s legendary mill, Hardy Minnis. They hold a Royal Warrant, granted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Nobody does it better. Exclusively woven in Huddersfield, England, Hardy Minnis’ city tweeds are a gorgeous cloth equally at home in town or the country. They were created by the UK’s most sought after textile designer, Nigel F. Hardy, a descendent of legendary woolen merchant, John G. Hardy of London, featuring gorgeous new gun club checks, more vibrant deco colors, and reworkings of iconic plaids.

Its versatile 12 oz./360 gram weight makes it ideal to wear practically year round. The crisp finish, two-ply twist construction, and robust handle provide superior performance for our jackets, suits, trousers, and lightweight outerwear. Since its recent introduction, these iconic Made in England fabrics have ushered in a new standard in British city tweeds. If it’s good enough for Her Majesty the Queen, well…it’s certainly good enough for us.
