Our craft

These are not cheap textiles, and you wouldn’t want them to be.

It’s expensive to make things this well. Well sourced materials with nothing hidden in them, made by people paid a proper wage, sewn from scratch here in Liverpool. Look at what else is out there: the rest of the market is made overseas, down to a price. We went the other way and chose quality over price. That’s why nobody else makes them like this.

  • Made in Liverpool, England
  • Premium YKK® zips
  • OEKO-TEX® organic cotton
  • Yorkshire fibre, spun since 1952
  • Fairly paid team
