I love to wear locally-made products. Despite the embarrassment
of the recent political shenanigans, I’m proud to be British and I like to
support British businesses. Community Clothing is one such enterprise.
I first alerted to Community Clothing during their
Kickstarter campaign a few years ago, thanks to my chum Mike. Since then, they’ve
expanded their range offering a very decent range of staple items such as
jackets, trousers, knitwear, coats and socks for both ladies and gentlemen.
The brainchild of Patrick Grant, who was once awarded the
honour of style icon status on this very periodical, they work with a range of
British factories, making use of their quiet spells to make Community Clothing
wares.
Last year, I finally became a customer after purchasing a
Breton top and chambray shirt. I was very impressed.
They’ve now released some chinos that seem to quite
high-waisted. I’d really like to order them, but I’m resisting as I’ve been
trying to lose some weight (and was succeeding until a foot injury).
Anyway, do take a look at their clothes. In the age where you can order all kinds of rubbish an app on your phone, it’s comforting to be able to
find well-made, simple clothing at a fair price. And what better than to
support skilled workers living in Britain.
