Community Clothing’s British Made Winter Heroes

As jumper weather fast approaches, Community Clothing is set to re-stock its ever popular British made knitwear collection with new chocolate brown and burgundy colours of its best selling lambswool crew neck jumper. Community Clothing lambswool jumpers are warm, comfortable, super durable and do not pill or lose their shape.  Heavy weight winter knits in sumptuous shades of brown, charcoal, dark red, navy, olive and rust launch in late October and include a men’s knitted jacket, a women’s heavy cable cardigan and for men and women, a shetland jumper.

New knitted accessories are also joining the popular Scottish made collection with two-tone beanies, cable knit scarves and a wool bucket hat. 

The outerwear collection is expanding with two new British made and 100% wool women’s coats launching in late October. A short navy wool ‘Nancy’ jacket and longer belted style in Truffle and Navy will join the range of men’s wool outerwear and waterproof rainwear.

Cosy season is complemented with organic cotton sweatpants, hoodies and sweatshirts and the pure wool British made blankets in autumnal earthy tones. The pure merino wool blankets feature traditional blanket stitched edges and are made in West Yorkshire; perfect for creating a cosy winter interior. 

The earthy palette continues into day wear with the corduroy collection which has expanded into womenswear and includes tailored corduroy trousers and a smart tailored jacket for men.

About Community Clothing Knitwear and Wool

The brand works with the very best quality lambswool, always sourced from the same farms, because lots of things, from climate to diet, affect the quality of the wool. The yarn comes from one mill that has been spinning in Denby Dale in Yorkshire for over 200 years and Community Clothing knit the men’s and women’s jumpers in Hawick in Scotland, in two mills which make the best jumpers in the world, for some of the best known luxury brands on the planet and also Community Clothing.

Wool has been used to make clothes since the stone age. Wool is a brilliant material as it’s renewable; it has the second smallest carbon footprint (after linen) of any textile fibre and it is naturally biodegradable, at the end of its life it can be put back in the soil where it will decompose releasing valuable nutrients back into the soil. Wool fibres are naturally abrasion resistant, making woollen garments very durable, and its natural elasticity, along with its ability to absorb moisture, makes it extremely comfortable to wear.
