Simon wears a 4/Medium FABRIC Outer cloth: 750g wool. The origin is 'Donegal Yarns': the last remaining spinner of the product in Donegal, Ireland. The tiny mill has been spinning that distinctive flecked yarn since the 19th century, and the Kilcarra tweed we used in our coat deliberately echoes the feeling of the very first incarnations. The mill also dyes, blends, cards and spins all itself - all in a tiny operation between the heather-topped hills and the Irish coast. The yarn was then woven by Mallalieus of Delph, a small family-run mill in the middle of the Pennines that dates back to 1863. It is also one of the few vertically integrated mills left in England.
