Sonsie is one of Lovat Mills’ signature tweeds, woven by this family-run mill in Hawick, in the heart of the Scottish Borders. We are introducing it in a heavy coating weight developed exclusively for De Bonne Facture.

The wool is undyed: the colours of the cloth come only from those of the fleeces, giving it a natural, living palette that is never quite uniform. It is a hardy wool, from a breed accustomed to harsh climates and never mulesed. Its broad herringbone melts into the brushed surface of the cloth.

With its heavy 770 g/m² weight, the Sonsie becomes a rare coating cloth, which is particularly warm. Both protective and substantial, it provides density and structure to the coats of our edition.
