UK clothing manufacturing is still some of the best in the world and we should be championing it wherever and whenever we can. We have one of the richest outerwear and tailoring heritages the world over but over the last few decades so many jobs have been lost to cheap labour practices overseas, which produce poor quality clothing and have terrible human rights records. Not only that, we have lost many artisanal skills that were passed from generation to generation so it's important that we support the UK textiles and manufacturing industries where we can.
Our Spring and Summer collections consist of more organic cotton and linen than ever, and we're dedicated to continuing that trend. One important aspect of sustainability is reducing an individual product's carbon impact, and especially the number of miles it accrues in its lifetime.
That's why we manufacture all of our clothing in either the EU, or in the case of our outerwear, right here in the UK.
From our western-inspired Norton jackets to our Linfield bombers, this season's outerwear is cut and constructed right here in East London, which enables us to reduce our environmental impact and gives us huge benefits in terms of quality control, so you be assured that the Oliver Spencer coat or jacket you have purchased has been through the most rigorous quality testing. We only have to hop on our bikes to see the excellent working conditions, too.
