Thoughts on a Donegal (Irish) tweed for an Argyll coat..?

[Steve Ashton]

For those who may not be familiar with the difference between Donegal and other Tweeds -

Please note the distinctive colored flecks which are the hallmarks of Donegal Tweed.




If spelled with a capital "D" the name denotes a plain weave fabric. Herringbone and Twill weaves will usually be spelled with a small "d".

Unlike Harris tweed which is a trademark and can be of many different types and styles, Donegal Tweed denotes a specific and distinct type of fabric.
