Shackleton Clothing: designed and made in Britain on Kickstarter

Wednesday, 21 January 2015

Simon Middleton started The Great British Banjo Company a couple of years ago to manufacture and sell a British-made banjo - the one instrument that Sir Ernest Shackleton didn't abandon after he evacuated his ice-bound ship to look for rescue on his Antarctic expedition of 1914-17.


Simon has now turned his attention to designing a clothing collection based on and inspired by clothing worn on the expedition, sweaters, jackets, footwear and various accessories. The clothes will be designed and made in Britain. 

This is a wonderful project and one to support. Watch the video for more information and help the project on Kickstarter.
