At Noah we’ve always held ourselves to a high standard of quality. It’s no secret we take pride in working with manufacturers and mills around the world that understand our ethos when it comes to sourcing the highest quality fabrics that will last years. With that notion in mind we’d like to take a moment to highlight a few we’re proud of for Autumn / Winter '25.
This hardwearing, coarse, yet luxurious Donegal wool tweed is as textured and storied as its lineage. Sourced and woven along the Atlantic northwest coast in Ardara, County Donegal, the fabric comes from a sixth-generation, family-owned mill—one of the few, alongside Magee, still preserving this tradition. They continue to uphold the craft’s integrity by pursuing PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) status and passing on hand-weaving techniques to a new generation of makers.
True to the mill’s aesthetic, the design maintains a neutral base, punctuated by the bright flecks that define Donegal tweed—traditionally created using natural dyes extracted from local flowers, moss, seaweed, and berries. These subtle bursts of color mirror the rugged beauty of the Donegal landscape itself.

Influenced by the natural landscapes of Donegal, Ireland, these blended yarns are composed of up to six base colors, with an additional one or two contrasting tones introduced through the signature Donegal flecks. The result is a richly textured, multicolored yarn that reflects the rugged beauty of its surroundings.
These yarns are made by one of the last remaining producers of genuine Donegal yarn in Ireland—spun and dyed by second- and third-generation craftspeople who’ve worked at the mill for over 30 years, continuing a tradition deeply rooted in the region’s cultural and material history.

Twisted, dyed, and spun in-house at a historic mill in Hawick, Scotland—the birthplace of tweed dating back to the 1890s—this fabric comes from a legacy of excellence. The mill has long been relied upon for its regimental and estate tweeds, trusted by a discerning clientele with an eye for tradition and quality.
This particular cloth is their flannel quality, designed to replicate the handle of early 20th-century superfine woollen flannel. Through a meticulous double-set, double-crop finishing process, the wool fibers are shrunk, resulting in a dense, structured fabric rarely seen outside of vintage garments.

This is a classic Cheviot cloth, traditionally made from the wool of Cheviot sheep native to the borderlands of England and Scotland. Known for its durability and crisp hand, Cheviot wool is ideal for jacketing, offering structure without stiffness.

Made by Joshua Ellis—a 250-year-old mill in West Yorkshire, England—this cashmere comes from a place where tradition still matters. The mill has resisted the pull of globalization, remaining committed to its original location, where generations of craftspeople and the uniquely soft water of local streams continue to play a vital role in producing what many consider the finest cashmere in the world.
We’ve been running this style for several years now, and it’s become one of our personal favorites—thanks in large part to the fabric’s timelessness and versatility. While the softness of the cashmere is unmistakable, what’s surprised us most is its durability. It’s held up beautifully, even through the wear and tear of everyday use.

This is the only fabric in the world protected by its own Act of Parliament—a remarkable achievement spearheaded by the islanders of the Hebrides. By law, Harris Tweed must be made from pure virgin wool, dyed and spun on the islands, and handwoven at the home of the weaver. These strict regulations and thorough auditing not only preserve the integrity of the cloth but also ensure it remains fully traceable.
This particular version is their "Featherweight" quality, renowned for its luxurious feel and high performance. Frequently used by luxury fashion houses, it carries all the hallmarks of a refined fabric—but it was never meant to be too precious. Harris Tweed is water-repellent, incredibly hardwearing, and fully repairable. Generations have relied on it for its lifelong durability, especially those who work outdoors.

This 13.4 oz selvedge denim is milled in Japan and carefully selected after an exhaustive search for the perfect fabric to complement our new Bootcut Jean. We wanted a denim that felt true to the raw, rigid, slightly neppy indigo denim you’d find on a pair of crisp, deadstock jeans from the 1970s or earlier—without overdoing it. While nep wasn’t a defining feature of ’70s bootcuts, we felt its subtle charm was essential to recreating the spirit and texture of that era’s premium denim.
Nep occurs as a natural irregularity caused by imperfect yarns and movements made by older shuttle looms. As the looms shake and tangle the threads, broken weft yarns form tiny white knots on the fabric’s surface—an unintentional quirk that came to define the look and feel of some vintage denim.This fabric shows up raw in our Bootcut Jean, complete with a crisp crease for added personality. It also features in the Shore Coat. Both garments draw direct inspiration from vintage styles—meant to be worn, lived in, and eventually passed on.

This woven houndstooth pattern is brought to life with subtle jewel-tone accents, creating a nuanced, country-style check that feels both classic and unexpected.
Woven in Ireland, this fabric brings a rich cultural heritage to an otherwise American archetype. It comes from Magee, a fifth-generation, family-owned mill and one of only five remaining Donegal mills dedicated to preserving the authenticity and integrity of this time-honored craft.

With its wide, exaggerated herringbone pattern rendered in a dense, chunky wool, this season’s statement coat draws inspiration from the women's luxury overcoats of the early 1980s. We custom-developed this 750GSM fabric to evoke that era—then reimagined it with an energetic, more contemporary spirit, pulling it away from the metropolitan and toward something earthier. Grounded in mossy tones and textured with Donegal flecks, the fabric nods to the green rolling hills and lichen-covered stones of its namesake region.

Developed in Ireland by Magee exclusively for Noah, this sturdy yet soft wool tweed offers substantial weight and a rich hand feel. It breaks in beautifully over time, softening with wear while maintaining its structure.
We’ve been running our CPO for several years now, and it’s become a personal favorite—largely due to the timelessness and versatility of the fabric. This season, we’ve returned it to its storied roots, taking inspiration from the plaids once worn by American outdoorsmen and reimagining it in a vibrantly flecked Irish Donegal tweed. The buffalo plaid pattern was custom-developed, drawing cues from the Scottish Highlander’s classic Black Watch tartan, resulting in a piece that bridges heritage and modernity.
