Making from first principles When we set out to make the best Mountain Shirts in the world, we chose Huddersfield as our home. It’s a town that’s been making cloth for over 1000 years.  We start with nature’s finest natural fibres and then our town begins its work. The wool is dyed, spun, woven, milled […]

As some of you may be aware, we decided to pretty much close our shirt production in March and shift production to personal protective equipment as there appeared to be an impending shortage.

To mark the Dalesman’s 80th anniversary, we are offering our biggest prize ever worth £460. Win any McNair made to measure shirt, plus a merino neck warmer and hat. If you’re not familiar with this Yorkshire institution, it was founded in 1939 to celebrate Yorkshire’s countryside. Over the years great writers such as J.B. Priestley […]

We’ve really enjoyed seeing so many of you out and about over the last few months. Next week we will be at the Chatsworth Country Fair for our last show of the summer. If you’ve never been, it’s a lovely relaxed event set on the beautiful Chatsworth Estate in the spectacular Peak District. There’s a […]

Our summer events are in full swing. Thanks to everyone who came to Made Beautifully Here in June. It was an amazing day with 1800 people travelling from near and far to join us in this mini festival of making. Next up is The Great Yorkshire Show.
