If @dieworkwear -- or a British equivalent -- on the back of that great @PrivateWhiteVC thread, could maybe share a big list of British clothes manufacturers doing similarly great things that would be amazing. Thanks in advance.

I thought the economics of the thread was great. Also had some hints at the innovation part of the economics (Ventile a really important development in Manchester, like Super 100s in Huddersfield). A big part of the future of British manufacturing is probably at the high end.

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Here's one to start with hebtro.co/?srsltid=AfmBO…

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Pantherella, Corgi, Sunspel, Lanx, Hawico, Johnston of Elgin.

@thomasforth @jordanbhx @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Look at Patrick Grant’s company, Community Clothing. Limited range but all make in the UK. Great quality for the price.

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Buffalo is based in Sheffield buffalosystems.co.uk

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC SEH Kelly Blackhorse Lane Attelier Grenfell William Lockie Harley Jamiesons Community Clothing John Smedley Drakes Crown Northampton Bosie Universal Works Goral Hiut Denim Lanx

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC What a great thread. Going to look into every single one.

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC A little more low key, but definitely for the list @CommClothing - they’re doing wonderful things produced in the UK.

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Look into Patrick Grant - not just a Sewing Bee judge, but he has a long history of reviving British clothing businesses. He is behind Community Clothing, who make good quality staples in the UK using almost all UK materials.

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC I try to buy British made or at least British made up, & find it very difficult to identify similar manufacturers, so a curated list would be top Undoubtedly the clothes would be more expensive than imported but it would allow people to choose One I use: justtall.com

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC There is just such a list in the back of the fabulous book ‘Less’ by @paddygrant I don’t know if he’d be kind enough to share it. I don’t have my copy to hand.

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Norman Walsh do a neat range of British manufactured trainers. normanwalsh.com

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Hawkwood Mercantile, Holland & Cooper. Lots listed here too: reddit.com/r/MadeInBritai…

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC @CommClothing, Lanx shoes, wawwa clothing, eribe knitwear, Carrier clothing, Campbells of Beauly, Gloverall, John Smedley, Cordings, Sunspel (some lines in Portugal), Freight HHG, (vintage Jaeger, Aquascutum and M&S to name a few) Arguably men are slightly better catered for

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC William Lennon boots, still made in the Peak District williamlennon.co.uk

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Not menswear, but With Nothing Underneath makes excellent women's shirts using men's tailoring. I make a beeline for their Marylebone shop whenever I'm in London.

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Adding Berties of Bay @BertiesOf to this great thread

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC I get my shirts from Double Two who still make them in Wakefield. Much better than the cheap rubbish in Tesco or Asda.

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Or we could all read Patrick Grant's Less, especially the Appendix.

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Check out Jermyn Street & Piccadilly tailors in London. Most of the off the peg clothes are wool, UK made, and not overly expensive for good jackets, coats, trousers. They alter to fit. Don't leave it all to the tourists, or US Brands. 🇬🇧

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Oliver Spencer used to make some stuff in the UK, jackets mainly but my info could be out of date. Herring Shoes also carry UK made footwear

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Sunspel are excellent and manufacture a decent chunk of their lines in the UK.

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC I don't think @BFC or @Drapers are on here any more but someone can help, surely. Could only find

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC @Blackhorselane & @hebtroco are a couple of gems in the UK.

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC When will the Prime Minister show some attention to Yorkshire & order a bespoke trench from the Burberry factory in Castleford?

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Old Novo doing great stuff with traditional rugby shirts Made in Britain.🇬🇧 Tricker’s👞 Hiut 👖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Gomi is great for tech - using recycled plastic (wireless chargers, power banks, speakers). Paul Smith that has a Made In Britain collection & helps lots of British brands.

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Nigel Cabourn, Gosforth, who sadly passed away recently.

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC And all named after a VC winner from Leeds! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Whit…

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC There’s a list of UK manufacturers in the appendix of @paddygrant’s fab book ‘Less’, which is well worth a read.

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC TW Kempton (Outdoor Knitwear). Leicester

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC +1 to this, I’d love to vote with my wallet and support more of these companies

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC I don’t know where their manufacturing is done but MKI started off in the Corn Exchange in Leeds (still there afaik)

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC Anglo-Italian angloitalian.com

@thomasforth @dieworkwear @PrivateWhiteVC It's gotta feature @aeroleathers.
