The British Jersey

A four piece collection made within a seven mile radius of Loughborough, England. Crafted by Roy + Helen. British heritage at its finest.

The makers behind the British Jersey

Made under one roof in Loughborough - from fabric to final stitch.

At the heart of British Jersey are Roy and Helen - a knit-machine mechanic and a garment maker, working together the way few still do.

They knit the fabric, cut the pattern, and sew each piece - all by hand, all in the same workshop.

At the centre of it is Roy’s Electronic Jacquard Striper - one of the last machines of its kind in the country. Running on floppy disks, knitting at a rare 14-gauge, it produces a cotton with real depth, weight and texture - the way proper jerseys should feel.

Once knitted, the fabric travels just 8 miles to be finished and scoured, before returning to Roy and Helen’s studio to be cut and sewn by hand.

Slow, deliberate, quietly exceptional. British cotton jersey, made properly.
