Designed exclusively for Barneys New York, our latest collaboration is distinctive yet refined, a fitting range for this iconic department store.

Our classic Hoosac Parka has been redesigned with a vibrant burnt orange colorway and has been fabricated in our 70/30 cotton/nylon blend to give a soft, peached feel.

The rich burgundy of The Gillman Vest is the perfect complement to the vivid tones of the Fair-Isle yoke.

Also including variations on our Fullerton Suiting Jacket and the Stapleton Tweed Vest, the line is only available at Barneys New York or through their website.

Introducing the Penfield Blanket

Fri, 08 Jun 2012 10:02:50 +0000

The Penfield Blanket has been produced by Scottish knitwear manufacturers Johnstons of Elgin. Johnstons make the finest knitwear and accessories from its mills in Hawick and Elgin in the remote North of Scotland.

The supreme softness and warmth of lambs wool means that our Penfield Blanket is a great extra layer for chilly nights and ideal as a throw for your couch or armchair for cozy nights in. It’s also lightweight enough to take camping and is perfect for curling up in by the campfire

Constructed in a rugged check pattern, the Penfield Blanket is made from 100% pure lambs wool which has been carefully milled at Johnstons factory and washed using the soft water from the River Teviot in Hawick, to remove any remaining impurities and oils creating a beautiful soft finish.

Finished to the highest standards, the blanket is available in four different colors and will last for years to come.

Penfield for Radio Guru Nepal

Mon, 28 May 2012 09:44:06 +0000

At the beginning of 2012, Penfield became involved with non-profit charity Mountain Trust which specializes in promoting and developing education, health and human rights in the central and western regions of Nepal.

After hearing about 'Radio Guru', a special project that distributes FM radios across the country to remote communities who often have little or no education, we were keen to raise awareness about this nice initiative and contribute in any way we could.

Through these wind-up radios, the charity broadcasts the national curriculum for one hour every day with Mountain Trust aiming to broadcast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. "The inequalities in education are vast, while the lack of stable government means that tools like this are ever more important and we hope that this film help reach the goal of broadcasting 24 hours a day to students of all ages," reported filmmaker Ivan Ogilvie.

Ivan Ogilvie and Anna Martin set out to Nepal to highlight the work done by the charity so we provided clothing and wool hats for the film crew and the children. Ivan and Anna were visiting a small village outside the city of Biharawa, in the Rupendehi district, where the local people had donated land in order to build a school. The crew has now returned with some great photos that we are delighted to share with you here.

Weavers Door Journal

Thu, 24 May 2012 11:18:46 +0000

The Journal highlights the everyday life of the store, the brands they champion as well as the community around them in Liverpool.

Born from a desire to offer the finest menswear, Weavers Door felt compelled to react against a world swamped with poor quality goods, in their own words - “we can only survive if we seek to inspire and be inspired". The Journal is a culmination of this search, a means of representing and applauding the clothing, people and places that they so strongly believe in.

We hope you enjoy exploring The Journal as much as we have and keep you eye out for our Gibson jacket in Heritage Blue – we look forward to the next issue this fall!

Our Women's Hoosac hits the road with Jackie!

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 15:02:23 +0000

We’re very excited to announce that our women’s Hoosac parka is worn by two of the main stars in the new movie Jackie. The Navy and British Green parkas, worn by the two main characters, also feature in the trailer. Twice!

Jackie (in theaters May 10th) features Dutch stars and real-life sisters Jelka van Houton and Carice van Houten (you might have seen Carice appearing alongside Tom Cruise in Valkryie) and the Oscar-winning Holly Hunter. Jackie is a road-trip movie about two sisters traveling to the United States for a reunion with their long-lost mother – Jackie.

We’re thrilled that the women’s Hoosac has such high profile fans, and whilst we don’t have it in stock at the moment, fear not as it will be back again in the fall!
