MADE IN ENGLAND
The Made in England range explores the wonderful dichotomy of luxury sportswear with the added principle of a discernable English provenance. “We under value many of our traditional mills who are working alongside some of the most prestigious fashion houses. Louis Vutton, Gucci and Prada”
Baracuta:
Made in England since 1937 Baracuta was conceived in Manchester and has since become synonymous with not only quality rainwear but iconic sartorial ambassadors to the tune of Steve McQueen, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Like-minded in their pursuit of creating elegant sportswear of unique quality the ongoing partnership between Griffin and Baracuta has produced a third G-9 Harrington jacket, in a typically innovative Griffin fabrication.
Mackintosh:
A brand of modern heritage built on true craftsmanship and a two hundred year history. A true innovator, Charles Macintosh developed the process of spreading rubber onto cotton creating the world’s first formal waterproof fabric. The trench coat seemed an obvious choice with its military connotations, rendered here in 2 designs featuring British DPM camouflage.
Fox Brothers & Co:
Founded in 1772 by Thomas Fox, the company has thrived in the beautiful rural surroundings of Somerset in the West of England. The Fox client base includes most of the worlds more exclusive designers, for whom the company specialises in producing exclusive designs, here their expertise has been put into practice on a pair of cashmere “Kingston” pants.
Butterworth & Roberts:
The name Butterworth and Roberts has become synonymous with worsted cloths. Manufactured from their mill in West Yorkshire these highly styled, quality English cloths have been worked by Griffin into their “Bladecut” and “Guerilla” trouser styles.
Andrew Shane:
A British, quality conscious manufacturer, with a unique hands-on approach to his product. The collaboration resulted in a series of rugby shirts.
Gymphlex:
For over 70 years Gymphlex has been providing consistently high quality sportswear. They show total commitment to UK manufacturing and have contributed to the careers of sportspeople young and old. For “Made in England” Grifffin have reworked two of their classic jersey styles
