Before we started Seamster & Shepherd, a lot of manufacturers wouldn’t even respond to our emails because we wanted such small quantities of fabric. But we realised other people must have the same issue, so now we focus on offering small minimum order quantities to emerging and established brands. We have two seamstresses working eight hours a day, so we can make up to 200 items per week. There is always the possibility that people will not pay, or delay payment. As a small business, that can be very challenging. I get offended when brands leverage what it means to be British without even a token commitment to sourcing stuff domestically. I don’t want to say that we’re purists, but everything we sell is manufactured here in the UK. That’s a red line that we won’t cross. We’re still working with the best spinners, weavers and finishers today that we were working with 10, 20, 30 or even 60 years ago. The only shortcoming we have in the UK is hardware, which we get from Switzerland. It’s always been bloody hard to run a business like this — there’s a reason why no-one else is doing it. We have a factory to fill and people to pay. Our brand provides something more durable; classics with longevity.When The Going Gets Tough Home Bar Opens Home Beer Shirt
As our star continues to rise from a brand perspective, there’s a magnetism there that is attracting people to come and work here. If we were just a nameless, faceless private label factory on the banks of the River Irwell like we were 50 years ago, it would be much more difficult to inspire new entrants into the business. It’s quite binary here — if you pass your three-week probation, you typically stay for three decades. But it is difficult. There used to be hundreds of mills and factories here and now it’s just us. You really do miss out on the dynamism and vibrancy that comes from being part of a cluster, an ecosystem. It’s not enough to be Made in the UK, you need the quality behind it and your word has to be your bond. I don’t just mean that you have to get audited and have lots of certifications. People have to trust you as a person. You have to be flexible, to turn challenges into opportunities. If you have a lot of waste, you can see it as a problem and burn it off, or you can make something out of it and sell it. If you make a mistake, know when to stop. Don’t just keep going because something’s cost you £20,000; stop before it costs you another £50,000 — reinvent. I’ve designed plenty of things I don’t like when they come off the loom, but we’re always two years ahead and eventually, someone will buy it.
