The sterling efforts of Community Clothing Co to make affordable British-made clothing and to help the revival of British manufacture have had a boost with the launch of their new website. Previously they used eBay as their online store; the clothes can also be bought at Selfridges.
Community Clothing Co's aims to iron out the peaks and troughs of factory production to make clothing manufacture more viable. The reality is that factories can be rushed off their feet one moment and the next struggling for orders. By making their own range of clothes they allow quiet times to be filled productively.
Lucy Clayton, CEO, says that, "The launch of the new site and webshop marks an important moment for us. We'll be showcasing the people and the places behind the product; really bringing to life the stories behind Community Clothing. We're selling direct to our customers, who know that every purchase helps support our mission to sustain and create skilled UK manufacturing jobs."
While their advertising uses young models only, don't let this put you off. The Community Clothing Co offers a concise but essential range of classic, quality, staple everyday garments for women and men of all ages. I own a superb pea coat, British-made from Hainsworth cloth, which was a steal at £185.
The range includes jeans (£65), a classic Harrington jacket (£109), cotton twill raincoats (£129), T Shirts (£19), a range of knitwear (from £59), Shirts (£44.95), Chinos (£49), Bretons (£35) and socks (£3.50 and £2.50). Spring 2018 will see the release of new products including Shirt Dresses and Field Jackets. See Community Clothing Co.
