Heritage Research
Heritage Research clothing is made for those of us who desire an authentic garment from a specific period but want a contemporary cut and aesthetic.
That is, a garment which in design, components, and quality matches the original garment but can be assimilated into a modern wardrobe. The nostalgia behind these styles is what makes them attractive. They were born out of a time of necessity, designed for a specific purpose – to function and protect under adverse and challenging conditions. Since then they have become timeless fashion items, appealing to a rugged utilitarian image. Attention to authenticity, quality and history is the HR ethos.
All the influences and components that go into making a HR garment have been painstakingly researched. The materials and the methods of the manufacture of these garments were commonly available fifty years ago. Today, the ingredients needed to reproduce these materials are mostly gone, long ago superseded by more modern methods. The wools used in HR garments have been woven specifically for us using traditional methods in a mill that has been established for over 160 years. All of the wool itself is sourced from local sheep and pre washed in the river that runs through the mill itself. It is only by using these traditional methods of manufacturing that one can reproduce the true look and feel of an original garment.
Reworking these old original garments again requires starting from scratch – sourcing, researching, digging down through old photos and books trying to find the original – and quite often it takes more than one go to get it right, absorbing lots of time before doing so. Heritage Research garments are crafted in England using the finest British, American and Japanese fabrics. Every piece is cut, sewn and finished by hand using traditional English tailoring methods. Each season we work with selected partners who are the leaders in their field such as Duluth Packs, Viberg Boots and Eastman Leather Clothing, putting a HR twist on their timeless designs.
Heritage Research is stock in the finest stores around the World.
