Joe & Co x English Fine Cottons

by Josef Schindler
Our search is over and our prayers have been answered......
In 2013 Tower Mill in Dukinfield was bought and in 2015 it was brought back to its former glory by the wonderful people over at  English Fine Cottons and embarked on an ambitious project to bring cotton spinning back to Britain

The two driving forces behind the project were the strong world-wide demand for luxury goods with the ‘Made in Britain’ stamp, and a desire to reverse the decline in the British textile industry and our prayers were answered

Once again, Tower Mill is a working cotton mill – and English Fine Cottons is producing some of the world’s finest quality cotton yarns right here in Dukinfield the North West of England, the cotton manufacturing industry’s spiritual home.
After lengthy discussions over the next few years and letting EFC bed in, I started sampling products with them from the their yarns into our new MANCMAK®, shirts, t.shirts sweatshirts, firstly with our MAK, then onto our shirts, tees and sweats

The MANCMAK™

Another fine example of British Manufacturing, where the yarns are from SUPIMA in California and actually spun on the premises in the old mill town of Dukinfield by English Fine Cottons, and then woven in the foothills of Holmfirth, then dyed and finshed in Bury Lancashire, before being handcrafted in the old mill town of Bolton
This is a truly British, spun,woven,dyed and handcrafted in the NW of England rainmac.it is very much water,wind & weather repellent. The buttons are manufactured in the last of button makers in the UK from the Corozo nut.
Joe & Co® have re designed this MAK to suit the individual who wants something pratical and timeless that will keep them warm and dry and also function as a timelss classic all year round
