Yarmouth are proud to be working with British suppliers and manufacturers where possible. Their fabrics are sourced in the UK, mostly from mills in Yorkshire and Lancashire. The fabric is sourced from Brisbane Moss, a textile agent in Yorkshire established in 1858. Brisbane Moss won the Queens Award for Export in 2004 and 2012 which shows the importance of quality and traditional fabrics, highlighting the worldwide reputation that Brisbane Moss has built over the years. The fabric used in this shirt was woven in Italy.
