The Magee Tweed Story
Magee's story began in the early 1860, when John Magee offered his hand-woven Tweed fabrics for the first time at the Aldara Market in County Donegal. Donegal Tweed is a virgin wool, known for its sometimes rough structures in "salt and pepper" or herringbone. Magee is inspired by the rough coasts and landscapes of County Donegal. This "iconic" fabric is still the main pillar of Magee. In the course of the 20th century Magee developed from hand looms to fully automated weaving looms.
Today it is the greatest weaving mill in the north-west of Ireland and closely related to the traditions of County Donegal. Already in the 19th century, John Magee opened a shop for Tweed fabrics in Donegal Town. This first business is still in the same place today. John's second degree nephew was born in 1913 above this business and took over the company's leadership in 1930. Meanwhile, the company is led by the fourth and fifth generation.
