I'm not sure it's a fractal nature of detail, it might just be a vague reference to an old movie.

Is rare tweed fractal detail or is it just an oddball fact?
The article veers into a loose advertisement for the designer selling replicas.
A tangential but interesting takeaway for me from this is that Harris Tweed was at some point in danger of dying out and that it was saved (?!) by now King Charles.

Maybe I meant that the amount of detail is sustained no matter how close you look? Maybe I was careless with my words? This is unnecessarily pedantic. I enjoyed the article. See you another time, CyberDildonics

Yeah, fractal means you see the same structure, or an equally complex structure, at the smaller scale. This is just details, there's no sustained complexity
