About Us

We are not big - we just made it out of the kitchen into the barn for more space, we moved the beasts out first.
We are originally from the industrial North, we even once owned a dark satanic spinning mill.
We have now settled in the rather lovely and rather sedate Rutland, in the middle of England. 

If you have read bits of the product copy you may have guessed we are not really a "mission statement" kind of company, we like to talk to our customers as grown ups so we try not to do the corporate babble.

Here's a few clues:

- we have been making clothes/yarns/fabrics/a noise for about 5 generations of the family now - always based in the Isles of Great Britain.

- we are still working with people we have known for at least 3 generations - yes it's still possible despite the balance of payments deficit, you just have to know where to look and you have to care.

- the brand is 6 years old, we now have this shiney website, we have 6 stores in the UK (how did that happen?)

- we make ALL our clothing in the UK or Europe - nowhere else.

- we believe business is about people, tradition, skill and not just our margin - we pay our factories a fair price, we do not have a ridiculous mark up.

Some old fashioned values are worth keeping, not everything about the past is out of date.

Oh and the Dog thing.................

yeah we love the infamous Jack Russell terrier - they are loyal, brave, tenacious, honest, damn fine looking dogs and originally Made In Britain just like us - they seemed like a good role model.
