Composition and Care

FABRIC

100% cotton Ventile®
Ventile® was designed and developed up the road from our Manchester factory at the direct request from Winston Churchill during World War II. The final brief given to Manchester’s Shirley Institute in 1943 by the Ministry of Defence was to create a cloth that would help prolong the survival rates of RAF Pilots.
Ventile® was also famously used in the first ever summit of Mount Everest in 1953

Manchester’s Hidden Gems

Earlier this month we opened the doors of our red bricked 149 year old headquarters to Manchester’s Finest who spent the day documenting life here at the factory for its hugely popular video series ‘Hidden Gems’.

The Best Of British

A trip to Mallalieus of Delph - We’ve been making exemplary garments for over 127 years in our Manchester factory. Private Jack White himself dedicated his professional career to the manufacturing of British clothing, where patience, skill, attention to detail, steadfast focus and the use of only the highest quality materials typified everything he did.

Get Britain Making Again

“When I began work back in 1972 in Salford, Manchester had a huge raincoat industry employing 70,000 people, including those working in thriving docks which were used for export."

Made In Manchester For The World

When you’re putting on your Private White V.C. Ventile® raincoat or Duster Mac, you’re probably focused on the next meeting or where your phone is. It’s unlikely you’ll wonder who made what you’re wearing. However, your coat - or any of the garments we make for that matter - has passed through multiple hands, each ensuring what you have on is the best it can be.

Meet The Makers

Many of our makers have honed their craft over many years with us, often decades. Their passion, commitment, attention to detail, grit, determination, and humour are a joy to behold every single day.
