Our
Story...
THE
INSPIRATION - My Grandfather worked for Courtaulds Textile his whole working
life. Starting at 18 years old as a tea boy, his association with the company
continued until his retirement! His
service at the company was interrupted
by the Second World War where he commanded a fleet of minesweepers. He was a well dressed "English
Gentleman" always enjoying the fashions of the day and his other passion,
Motor Cars, the two went hand in hand!
Many of our designs are inspired by what he wore both in war and peace
time.
OUR STORY
BEGINS IN BORANUP, WESTERN AUSTRALIA - Whilst on a road trip in W.A. I came up
with an idea to get a local knitting club to knit sweaters from vintage
knitting patterns. Fast forward 8 years
and now working in Brancaster, England, we had our first sweaters knitted by an
elderly lady called Dorothy. Our
attention soon moved to trousers, disappointed with the way golf fashion was
moving, we decided that a 1930s style high waist corduroy and moleskin was the
way forward....or back, depending how you look at it !
Our first
trouser order was placed with a factory in Yorkshire, we had a small space in
the pro-shop at Brancaster, later that year we launched our first website. The 1930s trouser sold well so we decided to
try and make shirts from the same period. We produced a Jersey cotton shirt,
with various collar styles, which was very practical and easy to wear. Over
time we added more products to the range.
Always true
to our core beliefs of using authentic patterns and designs to create stylish
clothing taking inspiration from we consider to be the "Golden Era of
Fashion" , manufacturing using only the finest British Fabrics made by
craftsmen & women in British tailoring houses. Our clothing is worn by Golfers, Motoring
Enthusiasts, Hipsters, The young, The old and even the odd Television
Celebrity.
