Harris tweed is expensive because it is all hand woven on manual treadle looms as part of a labour intensive process in the outer Hebrides. Only fabric made there in the traditional way can be called Harris tweed - just as Champagne has to come from that region else it is just sparkling wine. It is a high quality low volume product and requires great skill to produce.

Tweed is not inherently waterproof as it is traditionally made from wool, which is not a waterproof material. However, tweed can be treated with waterproofing agents or coatings to make it water-resistant. These treatments can help repel water to some extent, but tweed is not as waterproof as materials like Gore-Tex or rubberized fabrics. It is important to note that the level of water resistance will depend on the specific treatment applied to the tweed fabric.

Where did the word tweed come from?
The word "tweed" is believed to have originated from the Scottish words "tweel" or "twill," which refer to the fabric's woven texture. In the 19th century, a cloth merchant misread "tweel" as "tweed" in a letter, and the misnomer stuck, leading to the popularization of the term. Tweed fabric is commonly associated with Scotland and is often used in traditional British attire.
