I sense a revival of British clothes manufacturing. Much has gone, but there is still a fantastic choice of British made clothes out there, whether you want to spend a lot or not very much money.

Here you can find links and information, in no particular order, about British made clothes, for men, women and children. This article is ongoing and I will add to it when I discover more British clothes manufacturers and suppliers. Only companies that actually make or supply clothes made in the UK will be featured here, not simply companies that used to make clothes in the UK or are just selling clothes in the UK. The products I list here are genuinely made in the UK, not simply labelled to imply British heritage or manufacture.

The Finest Cashmere Socks & Knitwear Since 1893 – Corgi Hosiery.

Corgi Hosierywho are Royal Warrant holders, make socks, jumpers, scarves, hats and the like in wool, cotton and cashmere.  According to their website – “Everything we sell is entirely made at our factory in Ammanford, Wales, using traditional methods.”  They are part of the Dewhurst Dent Group of companies, who also own Dents gloves (which are not all made in the UK!).  ”Since 1892 Corgi wool, cotton and cashmere socks and knitwear have been exclusively made at our factory in Wales, UK”. They also produce knitwear for Monkstone Knitwear – http://www.corgihosiery.co.uk

Monkstone Knitwear

Monkstone Knitwear is produced from wool off sheep at Trevayne Farm, South Wales and other local nearby farms in Wales and made into garments by hand knitters and a factory which is only 42 miles away from the farm.  The factory is Corgi Hosiery, who I mentioned in my earlier write-up of where to buy British made socks .  The garments are then packaged on the farm. Availability is limited by the amount of wool produced in a season.  Garments are made to order and some are available in the London shop Luna and Curious in Shoreditch. Trevayne Farm also has a camping and caravan site, a cottage and a blog.
