I've been looking around for British companies producing heritage inspired 'workwear'. There seems to be several established companies and quite a few newcomers.
Those I've found and like the looks of so far are:
Nigel Cabourn : http://www.cabourn.com/
Not introduction needed - there's already a good thread on him: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...=nigel+cabourn
Heritage Research : http://www.heritageresearch.co.uk/
Seem to be best known for their collaboration with Quoddy. Not just British workwear, but workwear, expedition wear, military wear etc. from Europe and the North americas. Appear to be committed to quality of materials and design.
Norsea Industries :http://www.norseaindustries.com/
Coastal workwear. Fairly new company but growing fast. I believe production is partly UK based and partly made in India.
Cro'Jack : http://www.crojack.co.uk/
Seem to be a very new company. Clothing looks very good. Military and workwear inspired.
Universal Works : http://www.universalworks.co.uk/info/about-us
Fairly well known on the forum. Seem to offer good value modern interpretations of workwear.
Margaret Howell : http://www.margarethowell.co.uk/
MHL & Margaret Howell lines. Been doing her thing for years. Thread here: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...argaret+howell
Old Town : http://www.old-town.co.uk/products.htm
Horrible website, but their clothes look interesting. Small producer, largely made to order.
Thread here: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...ritish+vintage
Albam : http://www.albamclothing.com/
No introduction needed.
Barbour : http://www.barbour.com
No introduction needed, lots of threads. Big company. Waxed jackets are still mainly produced in the UK. Other clothing varies. Increasingly looking at their back catalogue to produce more interesting heritage clothing.
Let me know of any I've overlooked. Footwear would require another thread altogether.
Mods - if I've missed an existing thread that this should have gone into please move
