Harris Tweed Einsenhower Jacket – Pink/Blue

Although we know Lite Year for their headwear, they also dabble with apparel at times. Rather than some side project with little thought, their clothing selection is small and heavily considered. Take for example this Eisenhower jacket in Harris Tweed® – made with a level of detail and craft you’d expect from a seasoned fashion label.

The style gets the name from General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who wore this style during his time commanding the American forces during World War 2. Although not directly related to him, the style became synonymous with him after the amount of propaganda imagery used throughout the war.

Harris Tweed® textiles are some of the finest in the world. For over 200 years, Harris Tweed has been hand weaving tweeds and other textiles in the Scottish Isles. Constructed from a pure wool herringbone, no extra details – except for the woven Harris Tweed® label on the back – interrupt the uneven texture and subtle colour variance of this exquisite fabric.
