What gets made here
Outerwear first, then cut and sew wovens and tailoring. The minimums and lead times below are the ones we quote for these families across our group.
| No. | Product | What it covers | Minimum | Lead time | Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. 01 | Outerwear | Padded coats, technical shells and wool coats. | From 150pieces per style | 9–11 wksbulk | |
| No. 02 | Dresses & wovens | Linen dresses, poplin shirts, blouses and tailored separates. | From 100pieces per style | 7–9 wksbulk | |
| No. 03 | Tailoring | Blazers, suits and tailored trousers, half-canvas construction, wool suiting. | From 150pieces per style | 9–11 wksbulk | |
| No. 04 | Something else? | Tell us what you are making. If the right factory for it is in another town, we place the brief there. | |||
Minimums are per style. Bulk lead times run from the approved sample; sampling adds 2–4 weeks. Send the brief at least 14 weeks before your ship date.
How a brief runs
Three steps, all by email. One point of contact from sample to delivery.
Tell us the product, pieces per style, fabric and your target date. We reply within 24 hours.
We read it and assign the factory in our group built for it, in Manchester or wherever fits better, within 7 days of a qualified brief. About 1 in 5 briefs is not a fit, and we say so by email at no cost.
The factory quotes and bills you directly. No commission, no markup. If we charge a fee, it is quoted in writing before any work starts and never tied to order size.
Visiting the factory
UK factories can be visited. Once we have placed your brief, you can arrange a visit directly with the factory.
Not sure it’s the right town?
Outerwear takes longer than jersey: more panels, more trims and heavier fabric. Plan for 9–11 weeks of bulk after the approved sample. If a factory in another town fits your product better, we tell you and place the brief there instead.
Four towns, one brief
Our group covers the four towns where most British clothing gets made. You don’t have to pick one: send the brief and we place it.
