In order to meet the legally-prescribed definition of Harris Tweed, a length of tweed cloth must comply with a set of strict specifications. Legally, to be considered Harris Tweed, a tweed must have been "hand-woven by the islanders at their home in the Outer Hebrides and made from pure virgin wool dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides".
A tweed that does not fulfil each of these conditions cannot be sold as Harris Tweed and cannot be marketed as such. Harris Tweed carries the Orb Mark, Britain's oldest surviving Certification Mark, which is managed and protected by the Harris Tweed Authority, a statutory body.
The definition of Harris Tweed is enshrined in law, with clear legal criteria laid down in the Harris Tweed Act of 1993. This Harris Tweed trademark - registered in over 30 countries – was substantially bolstered by the 1993 Harris Tweed Act. The Act strengthened existing protection for Harris Tweed by giving the definition of Harris Tweed a firm legal basis.
