Donegal Tweed Cloth?

[Philalethes]

Is it possible to buy Donegal tweed cloth online?
I have found many establishments that sell Harris Tweed cloth but none that sell Donegal. Is it because Donegal tweed is manufactured in smaller quantities than Harris, or perhaps because Donegal tweed is less popular?

MyCustomTailor carries some.

Couple of good sources from this start-off search, including John Molloy.

Also, Kevin & Howlin.

Visit Ardara and see for yourself...

Did you google this? I just found an online dealer in 30 seconds. Can't vouch for them however...

Thanks all for the links. I overlooked John Molloy, which has some especially nice offerings.
Ireland is certainly high on my list for travel, especially since I have just recently discovered that I have Irish ancestry.

I can recommend John Malloy. My ex-wife purchased from them some years ago with good results.

Found this thread, and thought I would restart it, on account of not wanting to start a new one unnecessarily. Looking for advice here: my grandfather used to wear tweed jackets a lot, in what you might call a semi Donegal type of weave. It looked like fish scales. The cloth was not particularly woolly, as some tweeds are, and I wondered if there were tweed weaves that are not used now, but which were common during the golden era. My grandfather would have bought his around about 1940.
