The north London sample room has been putting out small runs and samples for the best part of a century. Like any good workroom, it’s a whirl of activity most times of the day. Best, then, to keep out of the way during work hours, and poke around when it isn’t — just before lights-off, for instance, when tools are downed.
The workshop was built over a century ago, and for the past decade or more has served competently and compactly as company headquarters. Garments aren’t made here, of course — that’s the purview now of makers across the British Isles — but it is quite handy for the development of them.

Not open very much at all, these days, the workshop. Still, look out for the first workshop in the row, and if the lights are on, step on inside why not.
