WHAT IS MARLING & EVANS TWEED?
Marling & Evans was founded as early as the 16th century and soon became one of the most important centres of production in the West of England. By the 18th century, distinguished gentlemen were already wearing Marling & Evans tweed. The present mill was built in the 19th century and operates fully vertically: all stages of production take place one after another on a single level. Right in the heart of Huddersfield, regarded as the centre of Yorkshire's textile industry, Marling & Evans is a modern, highly innovative mill that still makes classic tweed, but in its own way.


THE NATURAL STORY
Marling & Evans weaves tweed without dyeing it. The mill has developed a process for weaving colour and texture into the cloth. By blending wools of different colours, it creates unique patterns. It uses the black and white of the piebald fleece of the Jacob sheep and the deep black of the Welsh Black. The greatest range of colours, however, comes from the Shetland sheep: black, brown, grey melange and beige melange, to name only a few.

The tweed wool is never chemically treated or dyed at any stage. Only natural soap is used in finishing.
