Nigel Cabourn‘s Mallory jacket goes in the “must-have” category, simply because you probably won’t find a better cut, more refined blazer made from Harris Tweed Herringbone for the fall. The shoulders and elbows are externally lined with an olive ventile fabric for added protection from whatever nature throws at you. Beyond the aesthetic appeal and enhanced functionality of this blazer, we think it’s also important to note this item was crafted using antique Japanese manufacturing techniques, which nowadays, seem like a dying trend.

Harris Tweed’s fabric is the only one in the world to be governed and authenticated by an Act of Parliament. The tweed’s hand woven in the Western Isles of Scotland but Harris Tweed usually leaves the designing and construction to others like Ralph Lauren, Jean Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood and even the tailors of Britain’s Royal Family.
