Bowmont Shirt
100% British Bowmont Merino wool, 100% British supply chain.

This traditional fabric has a windproof felted finish, making the Bowmont an extra warm relaxed shirt fit for any adventure.

In 2005 we decided to place wool at the centre of our fabric development. Two years of detective-like research eventually led us to Lesley Prior, the guardian of the last twenty eight Bowmont Merino sheep on the planet. Capable of producing a fine fibre wool and surviving in the British climate, these sheep combine the hardiness of a Shetland with the softness of Merino.
Ten years after we met Lesley, the Bowmont flock is now close to 350 strong and producing a yield of over 700kg of fibre a year. It's a privilege to have pioneered this British Merino success story and built a 100% British supply chain from scratch.
FABRIC & AFTERCARE
