Blakeney Gilet in Forest Twill

Made of our exclusive farm-to-wardrobe, pedigree British Bluefaced Leicester wool, woven in the Scottish Borders, HERD's Upland Tweed is a celebration of British heritage and provenance. 

“A tweed this soft, that is also grown and made from British Bluefaced Leicester wool, simply didn’t exist – until now,” says HERD founder Ruth Alice Rands. “Our tweed reimagines the heritage cloth through a modern lens – it’s smoother, softer and unmistakably British given that its source, manufacturer & design are all rooted in British soil. We've spent a year developing it, working with a master weaver we found in the Scottish Borders who understands our mission to create a fabric that feels as good as it looks when worn.” 

Detail - The Blakeney Gilet is a cropped waistcoat with front ties and two patch pockets. 

Material - 100% British Bluefaced Leicester breed wool. Ties knitted in our wool also. 

Made entirely within a 150-mile radius of the farms where the sheep are reared in Northern England, reflecting the brand’s hyper-local, soil-to-skin approach. 

Washing - Wool requires minimal washing. Spot clean and air, or hand wash in cool water if absolutely necessary to preserve the natural oils in the wool.
