I was contacted recently by Isle of Man-based Windsor & Wales, who have launched online and offer products made in the UK for men and women.
I asked them to tell me about themselves:
The Windsor & Wales ethos is to manufacture transparently in the British Isles using traditional craftsmanship to create a modern, classic feel. Our design process is based around utilising the raw materials available to us in Britain, and basing our designs around this whilst exhibiting the great skillsets of the British manufacturing industry. We have also taken a very hands-on approach to the process, working directly with the farmers to shear the wool that is then handwoven into our tweeds.
Our full collection comprises tweed jackets made from Isle of Man-woven tweeds, shirts from Lancashire cloth, Manx Loaghtan shearling jackets, Scottish knitwear and Northamptonshire-made footwear.
I hope to try some of their products later in the year. Meanwhile, for more information and to see their products, see Windsor & Wales.
