On Saturday 25th February we are once again pushing open the creaky old mill gates and opening the McNair Atelier to celebrate the Moonraking Festival. Held biannually, this is a very special day in Slawit’s calendar. Art, craft and food events will be taking place across the village from 1–6pm. There will also be story telling, music […]
We’re a little bit proud to have been chosen by the RAF Snowboard Team to make their competition shirts. They chose a bespoke colour that looks stunning. They seem to have done rather well in them too. Taking all three podium places in the Boarder Cross competition as well as other positions during the Parallel […]

With more and more people wanting to call-in and see shirts being made in our home village of Slaithwaite we’ve decided that brave souls that seek us out and buy a shirt should be treated to a free lunch. Just below McNair, overlooking the canal is the truly excellent The Handmade Bakery. You’ll need to […]
We’re all about locally sourced materials and craft at McNair. Our co-founder Neil has also been known to camp out at high altitude whilst exploring the Alps. These two passions don’t really have a lot to do with each other do they? Well, er, call him a bit daft, but at the end of last […]
