This, the John Lewis and Co Harris tweed work-wear blazer, is quite different and subtly applies a modern twist to a very traditional garment. The slim cut and modern shape blends successfully with the traditional dogtooth check tweed, which is a mix of glorious moss greens, bright blue, charcoal grey and orange/brown (the photo below shows these colours most accurately, but is still too blue). The jacket has a handsome deep blue lining and geography teachers' leather elbow patches.
For £299 I now own a jacket which was manufactured in this country and (according to the John Lewis website) was produced as part of the John Lewis and Co. range (see [link removed]) in a limited run of 20 only!
There are other cheaper jackets in the range, but not all are Harris tweed and they do not specifically claim to be British-made, which suggests to me that they are not, nor are they claimed to be limited editions.
There is, at the time of writing, one other limited edition British-made Harris tweed jacket in grey herringbone on JL's website -[link removed as out of stock]- pictured below. Start panic buying now!
