In 1885, Robert Brewster Newbold founded a clothing factory and shop in Pear Tree Road, Derby. By 1898, he had already expanded and built a new factory called "The Shaftsbury works". To start with, the factory manufactured an assortment of garments including three piece suits, jackets and overalls, but throughout the century, the factory's repertoire expanded to include coalminers workwear, military clothing, and emergency service uniforms.

In 1991, Paul Smith bought the factory and launched his first R.Newbold collection in 1993. Sadly, after much promise, the brand disappeared from the UK in the mid 90s and became exclusive to Japan, the brand is massive out there (and they know a thing or two about clothing).

Many of you will know that we've collaborated with R.Newbold for the past few seasons now, and we've worked with them again, but this time we couldn't resist a few choice pieces from the range to sit next to our own fine efforts, even if we do say so ourselves...
