About UK Clothing Factory

We started because brands kept getting ghosted.

Brand after brand sent briefs to UK factories and heard nothing back. Others were placed with a factory that was never set up for their product or their quantity.

So we sit in the middle: one point of contact and a group of documented UK factories. Send the brief, we read it and place production with the factory built for your product, fabric and quantity. The factory quotes and bills you directly. We take no commission and add no markup.

What we stand for

Three rules we don’t break.

  • Rule No. 01

    No factory kickbacks

    We take no commission from factories and add no markup to your order. If we place your brief, our fee is quoted in writing before any work starts and is never tied to order size. That keeps every placement honest.

  • Rule No. 02

    Honest answers, even the hard ones

    If an idea won’t work in UK production, we say so before you spend anything. About 1 in 5 briefs is not a fit, and we tell you by email at no cost, so you can change course early.

  • Rule No. 03

    Small batches matter

    Our group takes orders from 100 pieces per style. Independent brands built this industry, and a first run deserves the same care as a big one. Outerwear and tailoring start at 150, denim and activewear at 200.

Every rule applies to every brief, whatever its size.

What we do

One brief in. The right factory out.

Three things we do for every brand that sends us a brief. Everything else, the quote, the invoice and the run itself, happens between you and the factory.

    Sampling you can plan around

    The factory samples from your tech pack. Plan 2–4 weeks for the sample, then 8–11 weeks for bulk from the approved sample, so send the brief at least 14 weeks before your ship date.

On the floor

From pattern to packing.

What happens between your tech pack and your stock, step by step, in UK clothing production. Before you put a UK origin claim on a label, read what Made in UK clothing legally means.
