It's hard to find clothing not made in Asia. So I wanted to shout out Community Clothing, of Patrick Grant, Great British Sewing Bee fame. It's where I buy most stuff now, and I love it.

Hah, funny to see Howies referenced here, wore my light cycling waterproof from them yesterday for the first time in years.

It's one of the best designed pieces of clothing I've ever had. It's such a simple piece but everything is just "right"

Thanks for the hint. No matter what, you'll always be with us in spirit, at least for me :-D And the UK is a part of Europe. We have to stay strong together. Brexit changed things, but friendships and unity remain. ♥️

I like Rapanui for cheap sustainable fashion https://rapanuiclothing.com/ have yet to find anything cheaper.

They seem to be inconsistent in saying where the stuff is made. It says designed on the Isle of White, and I found one garment that said Morroco, while another says made in "an environmentally sustainable factory".
