Making a t-shirt in Britain: How hard is it?
Turns out it’s pretty tough. It’s been two years since our Manchester supplier sadly went bust. Since then, we have rejected countless cloth samples and manufacturers. There’s been swearing, frustration and we almost gave up. It’s been heavy, but we want a heavyweight t-shirt, so maybe it has to be.
A t-shirt is like bread...
The more simple something is the more clearly it shows any faults. A t-shirt can’t hide bad cloth or poor sewing skills.
Good restaurants serve good bread and you know when you taste it that care has been taken even over the most basic element. The rest of the meal is based on this. And so it is with a clothing company.
Just because it's basic doesn't mean it's easy or cheap to make. Fast fashion has filled the market with cheap stuff and got us used to wearing lower quality clothes that don't last. We've chosen our own way.
Persistence was key and we are proud to present a t-shirt that stands up for itself. It meets all our requirements in both make and cloth quality. It will stay looking and feeling good for years.
