This sourcing took me to the bespoke tailoring mill of fox brothers based in wellington united kingdom they specialise in made in Britain goods and very high quality worsted and woollen cloth in range of weights and patterns suitable for any garment. I personally though went on the hunt for a light weight worsted wool suitable for the wide led culotte style trousers of my final collection.
It was just my luck, found just the roll I desired yes the colour is a little off but hey i am going to embrace it and even attempt to dye it. busy I shall be. browsing the small showroom my senses were taken on a journey the ticking sound of the material being constructed in the factory right behind the show room, conversation about fibre blends, the soft touch of the cloth against my skin, the view of a garment being constructed by a talented man and of course the smell. It may seem strange to some people but to others you will know it. walk into any material shop and your in heaven.
I was advised following a phone call to visit to touch the material and I am so glad I did. Seeing a functioning mill that I have never been too even though have lived in Taunton for nearly three years, viewing the variety and the best part material that is usually around £40 per metre I got for £10. It was definitely a buy now moment or your regret.
I would say to anyone if you looking for woollen cloth and English made construction go and see it.
