What to know about CAWLEY

Cut and sewn in England

Garments are hand-cut and made in England from a Deptford studio, using Japanese cottons, linens and wools — which is where the high price sits.

Workwear shapes, soft tailoring

Smocks, wide trousers and jackets borrow utilitarian lines but are built without stiff structure, closer to soft tailoring than repro workwear.

No plastic on the details

Buttons are corozo or horn rather than plastic, a small marker of how the natural-material rule runs through the whole line.
