Irish tweed
Emerald Isle wool
Irish tweed is a sturdy woven wool fabric produced in Ireland, traditionally handwoven using wool from local sheep.
It's known for its durability, weather resistance, and distinctive patterns—often in muted greens, browns, and grays that reflect the Irish landscape.
Donegal tweed, with its characteristic flecks of color, is the most famous variety.
The fabric is used for jackets, caps, and coats: He wore an Irish tweed flat cap.
