BREANISH MILL

If you wish to buy your own Breanish Tweed, you can ask your tailor to get in touch with us. 

 We sell to many private customers of note and are currently offering the chance for you to commission and design your own bespoke tweed.  Using our archives and your own inspiration, we can create twelve metres of your own cloth - perfect for a three piece suit. We can suggest bespoke tailors in London, New York and Hong Kong to create a very special garment.

It is possible  to buy special and rare tweeds if you visit us at our premises on the Island of Lewis, Scotland. 

You can also take in a weaving display and see how your tweed is made. Click on 'read more' for directions and contact details.
