Husbands tailors Irish tweed into relaxed elegance for autumn

The Parisian house Husbands has tailored its second release for the season into a study of textile heritage and deliberate ease. The five button raglan coat draws from Donegal tweed woven for centuries in County Donegal by local farmers and fishermen on hand looms, its black and grey herringbone marked by the soft multicolour flecks that distinguish the fabric. Milled by hand and weighted with heavy drape, it settles across the shoulders with the casual grace of something lived in rather than displayed; the pass through welt pockets sit flush with the body’s line.

Against this studied restraint sits an apple green scarf in Scottish superfine lambswool, its hand attached fringes adding a whisper of movement. Made in Italy, it offers a single note of colour that reads as both contemporary and timeless, the kind of accent that transforms rather than decorates.

The collection, titled “Searching for Francis”, is available now at the Husbands boutique at 3 Impasse Saint Claude in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris.
