Backing British

• We predominently work with British cloth manufacturers, sourcing the finest quality fabrics to craft our designs in.
• Buying British means we have built strong working relationships with our suppliers, whom we have worked with and supported for decades.
• We source both woven fabrics and many of our linings from British sources, aiming to keep our supply chain as local as possible.

Supporting Prestigious Cloth Mills & Merchants

• We buy from established names the British textiles, providing high end fabrics for our clients. Many of the mills and merchants operate on Savile Row and are internationally known.
• Our merchant suppliers have a vast range of cloths from stock for one off lengths, such as Bateman Ogden and Dugdale Bros.
• The incredible mills in the north of England are our trusted go-to for bulk cloth for our stock-supported garments. The longstanding relationships we have with the mills gives us trust in continuity of supply which is essential for producing uniforms.

Woven exclusively for Lyn Oakes

• A select few of our mills weave specific cloths exclusively for Lyn Oakes which allows us to offer totally unique garments to the market.
• Some clients have cloths woven for them, allowing for corporate colours to be incorporated, and a totally individual look for a business. Lyn Oakes can warehouse this cloth for clients to draw off as and when required. We act as the interim between the mill and client to achieve the desired look, weight and feel for the desired cloth. Minimums are required, and the timeframe for this could be between 6 and 9 months.
• We are able to weave low MOQ bespoke printed lining fabrics, perfect for adding some colour to a waistcoat back or lining of a bespoke jacket.
