British suppliers we work with
Malloch's works closely with a number of British suppliers and manufacturers to ensure the highest quality for our Made in UK knitwear.
Z. Hinchliffe & Sons
Z. Hinchliffe are based in Huddersfield, Yorkshire and produce some of the highest quality lambswool yarn we've come across. We've found that the Lambswool and Super Geelong Lambswool is particularly suited to certain styles.

Todd & Duncan
Todd & Duncan are a Scottish mill who spin cashmere and lambswool yarn and a revered across the world for their exceptional soft handle and quality. We use their Lamaine lambswool in a number of our knitwear, giving them a soft, lightweight feel.

JC Rennie
Our Shetland knitwear uses Shetland wool that is spun in Scotland by JC Rennie, and then knitted in our factories, also in Scotland. This means the wool travels only short distances, leaving a small carbon footprint.

Courtney & Co.
We're big fans of Courtney & Co. button makers who have been doing a sterling job bringing craft button manufacturing back to our shores. We've seen them grow over the years, with their offering expanding and working with many other brands. We use their buttons on our Malloch's x John Smedley collaboration.

GB Labels
Since day one we've been getting our labels made by Derby based GB Labels – even under our original iteration. The teal labels nod to the year between relaunching when we had temporary labels in which Chris hand cut and sewed into their first bulk orders from a teal gross grain ribbon that resonated with him. He wanted something else than the usual white or beige labels you see on garments.

Laider & Laider
Our swing tags are litho printed by East London studio Laider & Laider. We've been using them for nearly 5 years, using GF Smith paper for our sturdy cards.

GF Smith
We're big fans of GF Smith and what they do. We got one of their swatch books to get inspiration and decided what we'd use for our swing tags. Despite trying out a couple of options, we ended up with a classic dark grey colourform card.
