Harris vs. Donegal Tweed

[RockyNomad]

I have been looking at all wool flat caps and newsboy caps. I currently have a Harris tweed cap and like the fabric but the fit could be better so I'm looking for another one with a deeper back. Is anyone able to compare/contrast Harris vs. Donegal tweeds?

I have both and personally I think Harris tweed is better. Donegal is very nice, but Harris is still better in my opinion. -M

I love 'em both and have both! I do have more Harris because they just seem to be more common. That may make a case for Donegal being more 'exclusive/elusive'. Sorry if that doesn't help. I say don't limit yourself!!

Same here. Within my sampling the Donegals have been a bit lighter and softer.

Same with my experience, rlk. A little less form to the Donegals. Again, though, I can't say that this is a good thing or a bad thing.
