The cloth
Beetled linen.
Struck until it shines.
Linen, wound on a wooden beam and beaten under wooden hammers until the weave closes and a quiet sheen comes up.
It is done at Upperlands, in the last beetling mill in the world, on engines well over a century old. The sheen comes from the hammering, not from any finish.
It gives the cloth a crispness ordinary linen does not have, and lets it hold a shape.
One pair of hands,
start to finish.
Every piece is cut and sewn in Belfast by one of our sewists, who sees it through from the first cut to the last stitch.
We keep our making close to home on purpose. Belfast was once the linen capital of the world, and the skills that built it are rare now. Making here is how we keep them alive.
