Harris Tweed is a trademarked cloth that in order to carry the name, must be made from pure virgin wool and hand-woven by the islanders on the Isles of Lewis and Harris, Uist and Barra in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
Being a fabric, don’t look for it on the outside of Afzal Kahn’s newest creation based on the classic Land Rover Defender, but in the interior of the rugged 4×4 model. There you will find the traditional cloth on parts of the seats, the headliner, sun visors, dashboard, door trims and other select components of the cabin.
The British tuner color matched the stitching and the instrument panel gauges to the Harris Tweed cloth.
For the exterior of the Defender Harris Tweed Edition, Kahn went with a black color theme that includes matte black bumpers and wheel arch extensions, headlamp surrounds and stainless steel front grille with an embossed Kahn feature.
Other additions include LED B6 headlights, clear rear and side light repeaters, fender air vents, chrome exhaust pipe and Kahn’s own alloy wheels finished in a dark shade.
