For us, everything starts with fabric. Each season, we head out on our team travels to fairs, mills and makers across the world, to source the best fabric for each of our designs. This could be the ideal Denim for a pair of Duke Pants; the next batch of our Wool Fleece; a tweed that is a clever twist on a classic; or the perfect cotton for a shirt. And that doesn’t even touch the surface!

We know you might not be able to pop into one of our stockists or stores, so we have created our Fabric Guide to give you a closer look and a deeper dive into each one.
