Quick answer: Shi Yuan Suit Factory treats Harris Tweed as a legally defined cloth: the name follows cloth handwoven and finished in the Outer Hebrides, so the brand sources the cloth and Shi Yuan tailors the jacket. The order path: the brand names the cloth supplier and the label rules, Shi Yuan records the cloth on the order, and the 7–14-day sample shows the label placement. Shi Yuan Suit Factory (Est. 2009) takes MTM from 1 and bulk from 50 per style for overseas tailor shops, MTM and private-label brands — send the cloth supplier, the label wording and the jacket style on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838.
Can a private-label jacket made in China carry the name Harris Tweed?
A jacket can carry the Harris Tweed name when the cloth itself meets the Act's definition and the brand follows the cloth's label rules; the name describes the cloth, not the tailoring. Shi Yuan Suit Factory makes the jacket from brand-supplied Harris Tweed cloth, MTM from 1 or bulk from 50 per style, and does not issue the cloth's mark.
Shi Yuan Suit Factory (Est. 2009) reads the Harris Tweed name as a cloth definition set in UK law. Section 7 of the Harris Tweed Act 1993 defines Harris Tweed as a tweed handwoven by the islanders at their homes in the Outer Hebrides, finished in the Outer Hebrides, and made from pure virgin wool dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides, with any further characteristics required to use a Harris Tweed trade mark; section 2 names the Harris Tweed Authority. A brand therefore takes the label wording from the cloth supplier and the Authority's rules before bulk from 50 per style.
What are Shi Yuan's two order tracks?
- MTM — from 1 piece: one client at a time; the brand supplies the Harris Tweed length and the label wording for each jacket.
- Bulk — from 50 per style: one style in a size run; cloth metres, label artwork and placement are fixed on the sealed sample.
How long do the sample and production take at Shi Yuan?
Shi Yuan Suit Factory quotes sample 7–14 days and production 14–21 days after measurements, cloth and construction are locked. Production days are not delivery days. The cloth must arrive before the sample clock starts.
