Community Clothing Christmas Gifts

Community Clothing is a huge supporter of British manufacturing. The Scottish knitwear,  lambswool winter accessories and cosy pure wool blankets are made in the very best UK factories and from the finest materials, while also supporting local communities. Community Clothing’s conscious manufacturing offers a sustainable choice whilst keeping costs and the carbon footprint low.

“With large parts of the UK economy struggling, between Covid, the ongoing pain of Brexit and the general pillaging by Bezos and his fellow billionaires the outlook is rough, and neither our current government, nor the last one, seem to have the first clue what to do about it. And all you need to do is choose who you want to give it to.

Do you want to hand all your  money to Jeff B and his cronies? Or would you actually prefer that it went into the pockets of nice folk here in your communities, money they would then spend locally, creating more local economic activity, creating taxes, helping pay for public services, and all that good stuff. It’s your choice, and it’s a simple one  - buy from global offshore giants where almost none of your money stays here in the UK - or buy from the likes of us and other great UK manufacturing businesses where nearly all of your hard earned cash stays here, boosting our economy.

What do you want your money to do? Pay for local schools and hospitals, or pay for lavish $50m weddings and ring pop stars into space? Your individual spending may not seem like much in the grand scheme of things, but together we spent nearly £87 billion on Christmas last year. If every penny of that went to local businesses the effect would be absolutely transformative.

So, this Christmas I encourage you to think carefully about where you want your money to go. Give the gift of good work and economic prosperity in a place you care about and by doing so, enjoy basking in the warm glow of having done something good.” Patrick Grant, Founder, Community Clothing.

Knitted accessories

Knitted accessories are a must as the temperature dips. The Fair Isle hat, scarf & glove set is knitted in Scotland as are the new lambswool fingerless gloves and beanies, available in a rainbow of colours.

Socks

Community Clothing promises luxury quality socks at everyday prices. The excellent socks are best sellers, frequently sell out and are made from the best quality yarns in specialist factories in the UK that also make for some of the best known luxury brands. Highlights include cushioned walking socks, colourful sports socks and cosy alpaca bed socks.

Proper jumpers

Community Clothing creates fantastic quality lambswool jumpers that are warm, comfortable, super durable and do not pill or lose their shape. The winter collection features new shapes including a chunky rollneck, a fisherman ribbed jumper, and classic v neck cardigan as well as the ever popular crew neck jumper.

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.

Pure wool blankets

Community Clothing has expanded the seasonal range of pure merino wool blankets which feature traditional blanket stitched edges and are made in West Yorkshire; perfect gifts for creating a cosy winter interior.
