Description
In this episode, I talk to Sophie Miller, designer at traditional British maker Yarmouth Oilskins on the coast of Norfolk. The company will shortly be celebrating 125 years of continuous history within the business of workwear. Originally supplying fishermen with their working clothes, from sweaters to oilskins, to a wider field of clothes for workers. Three years ago the heritage brand was launched, remaking designs from the archives. We talk about the history, making in Britain and being an important local business with dedicated employees. And how the traditional workwear of the British labourer is a hit in Asia.Yarmouth Oilskins can be found on Instagram as @Yarmouth_Oilskins and on the web at https://www.yarmouthoilskins.com/Nick Johannessen is the host of Garmology, the editor of the WellDressedDad blog and WellDressedDad on Instagram.
