About Us

Think retro revival for Spring/Summer 2010.  Graphic stripes line up on super-soft, featherweight knits and combine with boxy jackets in linear rib, plain knit and two colour structures where a mix of garment lengths and weights reflects a trend for layering.  A palette of punchy brights including tones of coral, lime, turquoise and lilac provides fresh tone-on-tone colour plays when garments are mixed and worn together creating an easy relaxed mood.

The greater part of our range is crafted in our two mills in Elgin and Hawick by 700 skilled staff. We remain the last fully vertical mill in the UK, the only still to carry out all processes from raw material to finished garment, which gives us unique competitive advantages.

With our 213 year history, we pride ourselves in making better products, with superior colour, design, handle, drape and longevity. We use only the best raw materials and every product is washed in our own local water, ensuring the softest of finishes. We are among that rare breed of manufacturers who still retain the skills to achieve these standards. We hope that in our new collection you will find products to complete the perfect summer wardrobe.
