About the company →100%

01
Design & development
In-house product development studios turn a tech pack or a sketch into a knitting programme and a costed sample.
02
Sampling
Proto, fit and size-set samples are knitted on the production machines, so what is approved is what ships.
03
Knitting
Shima Seiki jacquard and full-fashioned knitting across six gauges, from 3 GG chunky to 16 GG fine gauge.
04
Linking & finishing
Panels are linked, trimmed and pressed; garment-dyed styles are dyed in-house to the buyer's shade.
05
Washing & drying
Industrial hydro washing at 7 to 10 litres of water per kilo and recycled-steam drying give the hand-feel and measurements the spec calls for.
06
Inspection & dispatch
Final inspection, packing and export documentation for the UK, Europe and North America.
Rebuilt three times over as the technology moved on, with the next unit already under way.
