Hello. We’re not on Twitter much at the moment. We’re a small team and Instagram is proving to be enough social media for us right now. If you need something please email info@howies.co.uk and we’ll be happy to help.

@scrambledheads When we set it up the intent was for it to alert about big restocks where there’s enough for everyone, so we know this isn’t really ideal… but thanks for understanding.

@scrambledheads Hey, sorry. What sometimes happens is that after a style has sold out 1 or 2 items come back in returns so the system sends a notification to everyone who’s asked about restock alerts… so dozens of folk may get an alert for not many items. We’ll try and make it better. l

@aegisdesign @samuriinbred That belt was rubbish. I have a pair that I’ve managed to get to work though. I use them every week and the belt always reminds me to check those last details before we go to production.

@MrStvnClftn @Al_Humphreys @Alpkit @buffalosystems I just got that book to read as well. TBC

@Al_Humphreys @howies @Alpkit @buffalosystems I've just finished reading 'Shoe Dog' and Nike founder Phil Knight makes some interesting points about manufacturing in Asia (as I suppose he would!!)

Which outdoor brands are doing a good job of producing sustainably and advocating responsible attitudes to adventure? This is a chance to give a shout-out to anyone doing excellent work! 👇

@doc_gnome @bigbluepictsie @UKMTB_Chat Thanks you

@UKMTB_Chat hi folks I'm looking for recommendations please I'm just getting back into my mtb and as most of my days off are wet I need a waterproof I dont want to risk my paramo to thorns and brush Nor do I want to spend a fortune on something that lives in my bag rolled up

@rae_ritchie_ @incredibusy Opinions will vary wildly but if your just wearing them to work every couple weeks is enough.

@incredibusy @howies Be great if so!

I'm looking for a comment from a sustainable denim brand on how often you should wash jeans, if anyone can help #journorequest #sustainablefashion #ethicalfashion

Day 64 AM 2020 just sub 500km YTD - trail running & riding off road in my back yard. Bad back haunts from time to time, but just keep on keeping on. Proper kit courtesy of @howies @evocsports inov8training… instagram.com/p/B_jqgNWFjbx/…

@LauraTenison @jenkinsleighto @EweniqueB @oakley8376 @Eluned_Morgan @Adamprice @1stcorpclothing One of our suppliers in China now makes ppe. Dm and I will introduce you.

@jenkinsleighto @EweniqueB @oakley8376 @Eluned_Morgan @Adamprice @1stcorpclothing @howies No necessarily. One of our loyal long term partners sent us a larger number of mask for free as a gesture of global solidarity. Please DM me with what you are trying to achieve?

@Mia_Elliott @CSiriano We won’t be making and selling masks, but one of our suppliers is, along with protective suits and we are connecting them with a contact at the Welsh NHS. We hope that it will help supply to NHS workers.

@howies I like your brand but do you really think that nhs is in mood to shop for hiking clothes? Face masks are what they are after. Could you produce some just @CSiriano is doing? I would love to buy two 😷😷. Doesn’t have to be medical grade.

howies is a tiny company but we want to do what we can to help our NHS and other front-line emergency workers during the current crisis. So, from this week, we are offering 25% off all full price items to Blue Light Card holders. More details here: howies.co.uk/blogs/news/nhs…

@coopsie74 @gleneire @TheGingerRunner Not till next summer sorry

@howies @gleneire @TheGingerRunner When will you have more biking kit in stock? Cheers

@gleneire @TheGingerRunner Oh, and we just realised who you are Ethan... we're fans of your YouTube channel :)

@gleneire @TheGingerRunner thanks for the reccomendation, very kind! sadly we're all out of bike kit at the moment but we do have plenty of bits that are good for cycling like our base layers :)

@turfcreative Our remote working chats must have been bugged! 😅 We're chatting about exactly this kind of thing at the moment. Reality may get in the way of some of the ideas but we will do what we can :)

@howies How’s about a range or just one or two designs with a % made locally to the NHS or similar.....

Hi everyone. We're trying to keep things as normal as possible in these strange times. All at howies are well and those who can work from home are. Keep getting outdoors when you can. Stay healthy and stay kind. We're all in this together.

Sandy Suffield hand stitched the design above for us a whole 10 years ago.

We're currently looking into ways our tiny business can help support the NHS and other critical frontline folk doing their work to deal with this thing. Maybe we can't do much, but we will do what we can.

@AgilePhysicist They have done well!

@jodie__shepherd Clothing has impact all the way from production of fibres, manufacture of the items, shipping, domestic laundry and then end of life. It will never be sustainable but by addressing these areas we would significantly reduce the impact on the environment.

Do you think fashion can ever really be sustainable? Tell me why #journorequest #journorequests
