Textile Fabrics And Garments Made In England Are All In The Limelight.

Paul Smith, Paul Smith and Vince Cable, the two British business ministers, did not appear at the same time, but they appeared in November last year. They are called "a target=" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "P".

"New dawn" - the two people put forward an optimistic topic on "reconstruction of the British textile manufacturing industry" at a conference.

At the meeting, there were dialogues between the leaders of the British spinning, weaving, weaving and finishing industries. They had Johnstons of Elgin, Abraham Moon and W T Johnson. Although the number of textile a target= "_blank", "Moon" and "clothing", the number of offshore outsourcing increased, they still built a united front for the British enterprises that survived.

the conference conveys the message that in Britain there exists a textile market that is viable and can thrive in some cases.

But this requires more British brands and special attention from domestic distributors, and gives them more orders.

The message "P" is inspiring.

For example, Harris twill is the most representative British a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > cloth < /a >.

These fabrics are used for spinning, dyeing and weaving only Scotland wool produced in Outer Hebrides. Now they are being used by a large number of brands and distributors.

For example, Topman, John Lewis, Marks and Spencer, Brooks Brothers, United Arrows, and Tokyo's Freak "United", these men's jackets in different chains and shops use this kind of fabric.

A few years ago, Nike (Nike) used it to make ball a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > shoes < /a >, and now, Harris twill is loved by many brands including Canada Viberg, French Aigle, Clarks, Converse, Vans, cable and cable.

It has even been used in the interior design of the Land Rover Defender (Kahn) of the British design office, Design.

clothing industry also shows interest in British manufacturing.

Over the past four years, there has been a growing interest in owning British made garments.

The "www.makeitbritish.co.uk" and "www.manufactureandindustry.blogspot.co.uk" independent operation websites reflect this trend, but the emergence of these websites also reminds us that there is a huge information gap between consumers and shops and brands, and people know little about goods and manufacturers.

It can only be said that there are many excellent manufacturers in British factories, but unfortunately they are not very good at marketing.

people are looking for excellent producers through word of mouth, and the best manufacturers are busy all the year round without developing new customers.

In 2010, during the short term of office as the chief executive of the British fashion and Textile Association (UKFT), I established a database of British producers and named it Let 's Make It Here (www.ukft.org/letsmakeithere/).

This is a pioneering attempt to set up a national roster for existing manufacturers in the UK, and companies involved in every stage of textile and garment production will be included.

This database is free of charge to the manufacturer, and anyone can query it free of charge.

However, many prestigious factories tell me that they do not want to be listed on it because they will receive too much consultation from some students who want to make a sample, but also those who have no money, such as a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/", "designer /a", multinational companies who will not buy British prices, and others who are classified as "wasting time".

strong industrial support

however, the topic of British manufacturing Renaissance is attracting some heavyweight supporters, such as Mary Portas, who advertised itself as "the queen of sweeps".

The former Harvey Nichols Visual Merchandiser has become a high-profile television person. She has planned a TV show focusing on a former women's underwear factory in Greater Manchester. The factory now starts reproducing Kinky Knickers brand lingerie, which sells for 10 pounds.

Now House of Fraser, Liberty, Marks & Spencer, ASOS, Boots, Selfridges and John Lewis are their underwriters.

But ironically, the demand has already exceeded the production capacity of the small factory which originally had only 14 machinists, and many styles are often out of stock.

from the angle of non entertainment, this is the 80 year old liberal democratic aristocracy, Lord Alliance.

He was the main backstage promoter of the new dawn conference.

His more widely known name is "David Alliance".

The entrepreneur, born in Iran, came to the UK with 14 pounds at the age of 17, and eventually set up Coats Viyella, which once ranks among the world's largest textile enterprises, and employs 65000 employees before it finally collapsed in 2003.

Lord Alliance promoted the revival of textile manufacturing in northwestern England and called on the government to help.

He is a sponsor of the Liberal Democratic Party, so at least he can count on his party's Vince Cable to sympathize with his ambitions.

But most commentators believe that the British authorities or anyone else will not give substantial financial investment to the manufacturing industry in the next few years.

The progress of textile and garment industry in P is dependent on self-reliance.

The existing British manufacturers are slowly improving the output of British manufacturing through a series of welcome moves.

May Trading is a prestigious men's clothing manufacturer located in the east of London, near the Stratford Olympic Stadium.

Its director, Matt Lea, has just opened second manufacturing workshops in the region.

His original workshop can produce about 15000 garments per quarter, and when the new factory is fully put into operation in the autumn of 2013, the production level will be raised slightly, producing about 400 to 700 jackets per week.

Lea is also a partner of Common People, a traditional British menswear brand, which represents a kind of return to tradition, providing consumers with unique and attractive modern products by focusing on quality, technology and local materials.

"all our coats and trousers are made in the UK. By the autumn of 2013, we will also produce most knitwear and shirts here."

Lea says.

"Common People sells well in Japan, China, Hongkong and the United States, as labels made in the United States or in France. For those old brand names, British made labels are also important to us."

The garments of Common People are designed by Kestin Hare. He was the chief designer of Nigel Cabourn brand.

The Cabourn brand is probably one of the most famous local manufacturing cases. Its designer promises 100 percent of the British manufacturing, but its high-end series is also famous for its high price, for example, his Harris twill "photographer jacket" sells for 1095 pounds.

Like many younger British brands, Common People has adopted a more popular price line, such as a sports jacket priced at 180 pounds.

But it is worth noting that Cabourn fabrics are mostly made of British cloth, while Lea chooses more expensive Italy fabrics.

Lea is now negotiating with Ben Marden for the production of shirts. Ben Marden is a Londoner from Hongkong who runs a clothing design and manufacturing company called The Limeys, with its daily life brand and surfing brand.

After acquiring a Turkey garment factory in Tottenham, northern London, Marden is going to build a small production line for men's fashion shirts here.

Due to the proximity of Tottenham Hotspur football club to white deer lane, the production line is called "White Deer" and the production workshop will be put into operation in early 2013.

In order to make "White Deer" start operation, Marden found and purchased some Japanese professional sewing machine in 80s in Hongkong and repaired it to London.

"Unless the product is really good, it is not worth the risk," Marden said.

It must be better than competing products from Portugal.

With this idea, he inspected different kinds of machines.

At present, we intend to purchase a Reece S2 shirt buttonhole lockstitch sewing machine, though these machines are rare now.

"machine shortage" and technical fault

Marden reminds us of the failure to find the right machine, which has led to a serious decline in the infrastructure of the British garment industry in the past thirty years.

Apart from the lack of suitable machines, there are still obvious technical faults.

Although Portas's propaganda plan calls on young people to go to the clothing industry to find their first job, the fact is that most of the technicians in the factory are over 50 years old, and almost all new employees are Asian, Eastern European, Middle East, Greek or Turks.

The factory leader will quickly tell you that young people in Britain are not yet excited by the idea of producing something.

Dean Batty is the author of Cro 'Jack, Cro' Jack is a British time-honored brand which is deeply influenced by navigation. It is named after a "marine Jack" part of a marine equipment.

The brand was co founded with LS Manufacturing, and was mainly produced by LS Manufacturing.

This busy factory in Wolverhampton produces premium quality products for high-end British brands and retailers.

Since October, Cro Jack has opened a street store in Covent Garden in London. This experience has enabled Batty to learn a lot about consumers' interest in making labels in Britain.

"There's nothing different for children, but people over 35 and above will have a great deal of resonance," he said.

"As a matter of fact, the older the customer is, the more happy he will look at the label.

And the label also appeals to foreign customers, especially Americans.

The operation of Cro 'Jack in the US Saks is very good.

Brands such as P > Cro 'Jack and Common People, and other earlier established brands, such as Nigel Cabourn, D S Dundee, S, S and Jack, as well as the Manchester branch, are partly or more or less representing the level of British manufacturing.

They are relatively small in volume. Some commentators believe that only when the British multinational clothing companies start more local production, will the British manufacturing industry have a real revival.

Batty also mentioned FML in its industry, which is a newly built factory in Leicester and operated by Bhav Mandalia.

Bhav Mandalia's family company once worked in East Midland, but moved to Tunisia many years ago.

The newly launched production plant has 25 machinists, mainly producing 5 bags of jeans and khaki style casual pants.

Despite the ease of cooperation with small brands, he still hopes to get orders from high street brand predators, which require short production cycles but are very profitable.

The brand "P & FML" is also produced by Joe & Co, which is a professional jeans brand in Manchester, run by Josef Schindler.

"Our entry grade jeans are made in Turkey and sold in Turkey for 60 to 70 pounds in the United Kingdom.

We also sell Japanese made jeans made from Japanese cotton twill, priced at 185 to 200 pounds.

In FML production, I can use Japanese twill on British jeans, and the retail price is 135 to 150 pounds, which is more acceptable to most people.

Josef Schindler said.

"Bhav already has a proofing washing plant in the UK, but he can send jeans to Tunisia's washing plant in a very short turnover period."

Hiut Denim in Welsh's Cardigan production twill jeans, this latest creation originated from David Hieatt, founded by Howies conscience brand.

Like Joe & Co, he made a different price for the product, using jeans made from Japanese Kuroki twill for 230 pounds, while the products sold in Turkey organic twill were priced at 130 pounds.

for George at Asda, River Island, Topshop, John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, and how to hold high Patriotic Flag to increase purchasing materials from local manufacturers, media coverage has always been common. It has become a topic of discussion to talk about supporting British manufacturing industry.

Fortunately, Topshop has used British factories in many commodity fields, from basic and popular sweaters to accessories, garments, coats and fashion items.

Purchasing director Emma Wisden said: "production near headquarters means that the product development process can be completed within a few days.

Most of our high-end boutique series are produced in the UK.

Last year, through core sectors, our purchases in the UK increased by 60%.

Online retailers such as P, and fast fashion multinational companies like Topshop use more British factories than people think, because they need to develop new designs or quickly regenerate the best sellers. "Asos"

Compared with the main basic production lines, the production scale of these commodities is relatively small, not only because there are no large manufacturers in the UK.

Today's production workshop -- perhaps the word is more accurate than the factory -- generally only ten or more workers, not hundreds.

Burberry factory in castlford, South Yorkshire, may be the largest garment factory in the UK. They have 650 employees.

Barbour, which produces their classic waterproof cotton coat, is located in South Hills, where there are about 150 employees.

Johnston has 485 labor force in the textile workshop in Elgin.

LS Manufacturing, which has 150 machinists, is one of the larger OEM factories.

Less than P, some cynics do not buy the display of "everyone sharing a share" in a multinational company.

Just before Christmas, Debenhams announced the launch of a series of British made goods and invited manufacturers to come to negotiate.

"It sounds like a bidding," said an old British supplier, not tired.

Once entering the tender, it will end with a price war between factories.

Henry Butler is a consultant who is a bridge between designer, brand, retailer and fabric manufacturer.

He pointed out that the price structure in the United Kingdom means that high-end brands have more room for development here. If producers can build their own brand, it will become a strong advantage, just like Common People and Cro Jack.

"Major manufacturers like Next and M&S are using more British made textiles, but they will be shipped to all parts of the world for processing and then shipped back to the UK.

Clothing production in the United Kingdom is growing, but the price here is higher than the average level of high street brand multinational companies.

There are many small manufacturers who make small quantities of goods for the high-end market, and it is hard to see that they have the chance of substantial development.

He said, "the production of clothing such as knitwear and tweed coats is perfect and even pants production is improving. However, as is known to all, no producer can customize them in a large-scale production way. High-end Jermyn Street men's shirts are very common, but more casual and casual custom styles are rare.

Butler has seen the potential of some brands, instead of wholesale agents, they are directly retailing to increase the output of certain categories of goods in the UK.

"If the profit of wholesalers is added, the price of products will be higher than most consumers can afford."

He commented.

let "British creativity" be put into production

"P" stands for the most high-end clothing industry, attracting orders from the world's top customers and friendly attention to the media. It may be very easy for designers of London Fashion Week T, and finding the right person to process the garments and selling them to stores in four to six months is the real difficulty.

how to find a domestic manufacturer that pforms British creativity into reality has become a difficult problem that has plagued the high-end market for many years.

But thanks to a move called "designer manufacturer innovation support center" (or DISC), this problem is expected to change. The center is like a manufacturer's information exchange, which will organize the surprising number of local manufacturers in London, and most of these manufacturers have special skills to make complex clothing.

another sign that helps to revive British fashion production comes from DISC operated by Wendy Malem.

Wendy Malem helps designers communicate with producers through a fashion center in London Fashion Institute. She has more than ten years experience in this field.

"From the beginning of 2012, we have certified some 150 clothing manufacturers in London through DISC, including 82 companies that we would like to recommend to London Fashion Week designers."

Malem said, "DISC's address is in Hackney, and we have many factories in Eastern London, but fashion companies are all over London.

These factories are usually made up of 8 to 12 workshops, including 5 to 10 mechanic workers, others are sample cutter and mechanic.

Interestingly, a large proportion of these factories are built by nearly three years of manufacturing professionals who want to specialize in high-end markets.

DISC mainly works with designers of the London Fashion Week, which reminds us that there are many groups in the British manufacturing industry.

In the high-end men's coat and jacket fabric market, or the professional production area similar to cashmere knitting or high quality welt shoes, the UK still has a good export sales volume.

A study by the Economic Development Statistics Institute named Enterprise Scotland shows that more than 200 international fashion brands cooperate with Scotland suppliers, and some partnerships can be traced back to fifty years ago.

In the fall of 2012, a cashmere manufacturer named Barrie was bought by Chanel and survived the financial crisis of its parent company the Dawson Group.

So lucky is indeed gratifying.

the manufacturing department of textiles and clothing in Britain can provide about 100000 jobs.

But this total also includes workers in different fields, such as family workshops and high-tech performance textiles.

The number of people working in the so-called "aesthetic" fields such as fashion textiles and garments is hard to ascertain, but obviously the professional industry does exist.

At present, inspired by traditional culture, British fashion is paying attention to the men's wear market. At the same time, the pound's exchange rate with the euro and the US dollar is also favorable.

Supporters of the British manufacturing industry hope that even after these two positive changes, the industry can still be robust enough to overcome difficulties and win development.

While some optimists dream of creating thousands of jobs in the manufacturing sector, those who are more cautious and practical think that the top priority is to recognize, maintain and protect the survival.
