All our garments are made from 100% Cotton, except for the Lycra
Pants which
are 90% Cotton and 10% Lycra, and the Grey Marl Fleece which is 70% Cotton and 30% Polyester.
We manufacture solely in England, where the fabric is knitted and
finished. We
make everything in it’s natural ecru form, and allow extra
fabric to allow for any
shrinkage. The garments are then sent to our Dye house, also in
the UK, where they are dyed at 90 degrees Centigrade to our range
of colours.
This means that when you buy the garment it can be washed and tumble
dried with no fear of shrinkage. In fact it is advisable to tumble
dry, as this keeps
the garment beautifully soft, and in shape. If not tumble dried,
they tend to grow
in size, and will harden up as happens with towels and any 100%
Cotton.
We use two kinds of garment dying, (post manufacture dyeing). The
first one is called a Reactive dyeing process, and the other is
Pigment Dyeing. Pigment dyeing is very eco-friendly and the dye
liquid is 100% Bio-degradable. Also this gives us the washed look
colours which are so popular, in Hyacinth, Lipstick, Baby Blue,
Taupe, and Miami Pink.
We are extremely proud of the quality of the range as the garments
last for many years. We have many customers who say their shirts
have lasted as long as 18 years and they have become much loved
members of the family.
