As the light fades, our windows in the mill illumi

As the light fades, our windows in the mill illuminate for the Moonshine festivities. In its second year Slawit sees hundreds of homes and businesses adorning their windows with art, creativity and light. Moonshine all came about when Moonraking was cancelled,this was an epic festival steeped in legend with magical lanterns, storytelling and music to relieve the winter gloom of February. Usually there’s procession with hundreds of people and thousands of visitors. The whole village would throw open its doors to the cold. Moonraking in all its glory will be back in 2023 but for now you can enjoy the
beautiful Moonshine window displays. Nearly every street in the village has taken part and as ever in #Slawit the community spirit is everywhere. 24-27th February 2022. You can find out more here https://bit.ly/3slt4Xb #colnevalley #huddersfield #moonshire #southpennines #moonraking

Our home in the mill tower has been buffeted by the howling winds and torrential rain all day. The sun has finally emerged but the gale is as fierce as ever. Just opening a window to capture the sunset took some effort. You can just make out the top of Pennines. We often comment amongst ourselves that we're lucky here to get so many amazing sunsets as the weather sweeps across the moors from Manchester and beyond. #Slawit #Yorkshire #Pennines #marsden #countyourblessings

Customers sometimes ask are our Mountain Shirts really used for snowboarding and ski-ing? Here you have it. The RAF Snowboarding Womens Team have this year come up trumps winning the overall championships in their special edition RAF Blue Shirts. Team captains Wg Clare Collis and Flt Lt Paddy Morris both won the individual championship at the Armed Forces Interservices championships. Congratulations to all of you. We're also sending our best good luck wishes to all Team GB at the winter olympics. 🤞 #mountainshirt #mcnairshirt #ski #snowboarding #merino

Over the last few days it's been great to see so many McNair Shirts back in their natural habitat. On a separate note, some of you may be aware that our website has also gone off-piste today. We are working on it and are endeavouring to get it restored fully very soon. Enjoy the weekend wherever you are. #mcnairshirt #mountainshirt #merino #ofnaturenotagainst

We thought we'd share this review which made us smile this week. "The shirt arrived safely and I am absolutely thrilled with it, so much so I am having to fight a very aggressive rear guard action to keep it from my 3 sons! Not only that my partner's daughter has also got desires on it, I may well have to leave home with the dogs to maintain possession of it. Mind you even the dogs are eying it up gleefully.

In all seriousness I must congratulate you and your colleagues on an exceptionally made garment and guess I will be coming back to you for family gifts in the near future." Mike, Dorset Jan. 22 Thanks Mike. We're glad you like your new Mountain Shirt in Rosewood. #mountainshirt #merino #ofnaturenotagainst #madeinyorkshire #bespoke #mcnairshirts

New warming merino colours are on the way for winter. This month we launch Rosewood - a beautiful deep russet with just a hint of brown, a bit like a toffee apple. Made proper in Yorkshire.

Thanks for the "spectacular" review James. All the way from Ottawa... "Well, I picked up my shirt and have unboxed it. Spectacular. That's my initial reaction. It is really difficult to come across a quality item like this. Please thank the person responsible. That is one spectacular shirt. Exactly what I was looking for. Quality like that is far and few. I can tell you right now that shirt is going to be one of my most treasured pieces of clothing. Ottawa is one of the coldest capitals in the world and I know right now that shirt will provide great comfort. I put it on and could feel its warmth. But I didn't buy the shirt for Ottawa. I bought it for the times I spend in the woods of New Brunswick. I will wear this shirt over the coming months to get a feel for the temperature ranges that are suitable for it. I will test it out in the rain too. I am outdoors a lot so I have numerous coats and jackets, sweaters etc. that I can combine to take on the elements. Looking forward to wearing it. Thank you very much for producing such a quality shirt. I couldn't be happier." James, Ottawa #merino #Ottawa #mountainshirt

It's been a busy month at the mill. Lots of you have visited to get measured up and we're cracking on making your shirts.

It's approaching 10 weeks since Sumera, our newest

It's approaching 10 weeks since Sumera, our newest recruit, joined us at McNair. A fashion and textile graduate from Huddersfield University with heaps of enthusiasm, knowledge and attention to detail. It has been wonderful passing on our skills to a new generation who are learning the craft of shirt making. Here we see precise measuring of the cuffs & placket before pressing and sewing. Sumera is on target to be making the full shirt next year. We are also on the look out for experienced machinists. If you have industrial sewing skills, we would love to hear from you. Just send your CV via the contact us page on our website.

Many of you have been in touch this week to say that you've been enjoying getting your McNair Shirts out for the start of autumn. There is a real joy in being reunited with your favourite piece of clothing or an old faithful you haven't seen for a while. The quiet pleasure of wearing wool as the weather becomes cooler.
Happy autumn. mcnairshirts.com #merino #ofnaturenotagainst #madeinyorkshire #woolmark #mcnairshirts #mountainshirt #autumn #oldfaithful
