The Prince of Wales check is commonly referred to as the Glen Check. The fabric was first created by the Countess Caroline of Seafield in the 1800s to outfit her gamekeepers and staff on her Glen Urquhart Estate. The pattern was inspired by the local plaid designs worn by her tenant farmers. However this check gets it's name from King Edward VII when he was Prince of Wales. The young king discovered this fabric on a hunting trip to the Glen Urquhart Estate and favored it so much the print eventually became known as the Prince of Wales check. 
We have come to know it to be an integral part of menswear fashion today. For this release, the Prince of Wales would have to venture across the Cardigan Bay and through Ireland all the way to Donegal where one of the world’s most cherished textiles is woven.
For many golfers, Ireland is a place where dreams come true. From enjoying the local culture, history, and pub scene, we experience every bit of Ireland from the moment we set foot on the cobblestone pathways of Temple Bar. When we at Seamus perform our periodic site inspections, we’ve been blessed by opportunities to spend a great deal of time in Donegal where we source and hand select their coveted tweeds.
The Donegal tweed is primarily known as a uniquely flecked, irish-woven fabric with history dating back to the 18th century. This uncommon find is incredibly rare, as not often have we found the Prince of Wales Glen Plaid to be woven on Irish soil. For this reason, we are pleased to release and make available this tweed in limited quantities for those who seek to take such a historic and traditional tweed that presents so well on a driver in a modern bag.
