How many Scottish knitwear manufacturers who specialize in cashmere are even left?
- William Lockie
- Johnston’s of Elgin
- Scott & Charters
- Barrie
- Esk
- Hawico/Hawick
- (does Begg make sweaters?)
Isn’t that the lot of them? All of these companies—Brooks, Drake, Colhays, whatever—are just using those same 5ish mills, no?
Begg owns Scott & Charters. Harley does cashmere, but they don't specialize. There are some smaller places too. I recently bought a cashmere accessory from a small place.
