The
workshop.

A small team in Sofia.

HEMLOCK is three people. We design the garments, work with mills on fabric development, and manage production. We don't have a creative director or a marketing department. The work speaks.

Our manufacturing partners are in Portugal, Lithuania, Scotland, and Japan. We choose them because they do specific things well — not because they offer the lowest price. Most of the workshops we work with have been making clothes for decades. Some of them for over a century.

We visit. We know the people who cut and sew these garments. That matters to us in a way that's difficult to quantify, but easy to see in the finished work.

Full canvas. Real fibres. No compromises on construction.

The Wool Peacoat uses 600g/m² Italian melton and full canvas interlining. Most brands use fused interlining — it's faster, cheaper, and it delaminations after a few dry cleans. We don't use it. The canvas gives the coat its structure and allows it to mould to your body over time.

The Field Coat uses waxed cotton from James Waller & Sons in England — a mill that has been producing waxed fabrics since the 1800s. The wax can be re-applied. The cotton will outlast any synthetic alternative. The brass hardware is marine-grade.

The selvedge denim comes from a mill in Japan on Cone Mills-spec equipment. 13.5oz. Sanforized so it won't shrink significantly, but it will fade. It will take 12–18 months to develop character. That's the point.

Knitwear is made in Scotland — Johnston's of Elgin for Shetland, Todd & Duncan for lambswool. These are not marketing names. They are the actual mills. You can look them up.

No seasonal churn. No synthetic blends. No trend-driven releases.

We don't release seasonal collections. We build a range of things that work, and we keep making them. When we have a reason to improve something — better fabric, better construction, better fit — we improve it. But we don't change things because the calendar says to.

We don't use synthetic fibres. No polyester, no nylon, no recycled plastic sold as sustainability. Natural fibres breathe, age, repair, and eventually return to the ground. That's the standard we hold everything to.

We don't do flash sales or discount codes. We price things to reflect what they cost to make properly. We'd rather have fewer customers who understand the value than more customers who feel cheated when the price drops.

We reply. We're not a chatbot.

If you have a question about a garment, a question about sizing, or something else entirely — write to us. We reply within two working days.

If you want to discuss stockists, press, or wholesale, the contact form works for that too.
