Hard to call this one

We’re far more likely to get a UK trade deal with Trump than Biden. At a cost.

As the PM is now pushing for closer economic cooperation with Europe that would most likely align any future deal with them.

So as Press shaggy dogs may go down Vetra chores go up.

The good news is Sunspel, Smedley,Crockett and countless knitwear brands are still great value

A sad story, but thanks for posting.

Having just read the Brooks story I have very mixed feelings about this.

Sure, it's always sad to read about historically important brands closing production and off-shoring. It's especially hard when a community has relied on a single factory for employment.

For many of us, the appeal of Ivy clothes is the Made in The USA tag. as graham Marsh wrote " the importance of being imported".

But - and it's a big but - I have purchased a number of US made items where the quality has been sub standard.

In the Eighties compared to a lot of European made American clothing in general wasn't as good. Relatives of mine from New York would head straight to Marks and Spencer upon arrival in London, even though the exchange rate wasn't as favourable as it now.
