Movie Stars

The best gift one Movie Star can give another is a much coveted Tweed Jacket

There is a great story about Katherine Hepburn and Peter O’Toole from when they were filming The Lion in Winter. Apparently, she was worried about the effect his lifestyle was having on his health, so she gave him a bicycle to cycle to and from the studio. He, in return, was so grateful that he gave her his Donegal Tweed Jacket, which she had coveted and which she apparently kept for the rest of her days. I often wonder if he got himself another one to replace it – Ah, well, he knows where to find us.

As for you romantics out there – we’d be only too happy to lend a hand if you need one too…Donegal Tweed Jackets
