The feminine Harris Tweed vest "Lea" stylishly combines tradition and innovation. The fine virgin wool – hand-woven in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland – is much more than just a fabric: It represents over 100 years of tradition, incomparable quality, particularly sustainable production, and is an expression of British cultural history. Harris Tweed is breathable, temperature-regulating, and therefore the perfect companion for any season.
Crafted with princess seams, a deep V-neck, three welt pockets, an inside pocket, and a back made of the outer fabric, the vest also impresses functionally. Four elegant horn-look buttons complete the design.
Whether over a blouse or a sweater – the "Lea" vest is versatile, adds a touch of British elegance to any outfit, and is an expression of style and individuality.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Harris Tweed waistcoat "Lea" by Wellington of Bilmore fit and which size is right for me?
If you fall between sizes, you should choose the next size up. (Modern fit, tailored). As a guide: clothing size = chest circumference in cm ÷ 2 − 6. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one. The women's collection is made in regular sizes (larger widths partly available on request).
What material is the Harris Tweed waistcoat "Lea" made of and what are its properties?
The outer fabric is original Harris Tweed, 100% virgin wool, hand-woven in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, body lining 55% polyester, 45% viscose. Harris Tweed keeps you warm, remains breathable, is hard-wearing and dirt-repellent, and ages beautifully. Being lined, the fabric does not sit directly on the skin and is comfortable to wear all day.
Is the Harris Tweed on the waistcoat "Lea" really genuine?
Yes. Wellington of Bilmore uses only original Harris Tweed, hand-woven in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Every model bears the official sewn-in certificate of authenticity from the Harris Tweed Authority, the unmistakable proof of origin for genuine Harris Tweed.
Does the colour or pattern of the waistcoat "Lea" differ from the product photo?
Harris Tweed is woven by hand, which makes every waistcoat "Lea" unique, and colour and pattern may differ minimally from the photo. This lively texture is part of the material's character and is not a defect; in addition, screens may display shades slightly differently.
How do I care for the Harris Tweed waistcoat "Lea" correctly?
Care instructions: do not wash; do not bleach; do not tumble dry; iron at medium temperature; professional dry cleaning possible. Day to day, airing and gentle brushing are usually all that is needed. The sewn-in care label is always authoritative.
Where and by whom is the Harris Tweed waistcoat "Lea" made?
The wool is woven by hand in the Outer Hebrides (Scotland) and the garment is made up in Europe. Wellington of Bilmore is a family business from Werther (since 1899, fifth generation) and combines British design heritage with German precision in fit.
What makes the Harris Tweed waistcoat "Lea" by Wellington of Bilmore special?
