John Smedley

Holder of HM King Charles III Royal Warrant of Appointment, has built its name in crafting the finest merino knitwear in England for centuries — it remains the oldest, still operational factory in the world. Through its circularity project John Smedley is committed to responsible production and its mission to fulfil its own emission-reducing targets. In 2024, it invested over £3 million in machinery bolstering its production line in order to reintroduce third-party manufacturing which aims to encourage brands to bring knitwear manufacturing back to UK shores. From Autumn/Winter 2024, the brand introduced men’s and women’s lifestyle staples to complement the core knit offering and has recently launched a diffusion line, JS by John Smedley, bringing British made knitwear to a wider audience. 

Made in England. Rooted in History. Designed for today.
