We are incredibly excited to announce that Peregrine Clothing has partnered up with Bergdorf Goodman to create a range of exciting British Wool Knitwear. Sold exclusively by Bergdorf Goodman themselves.
With a history as rich as our own we are thrilled to be working with such an established and popular brand. Bergdorf Goodman started as an independent tailor in 1899 in Manhattan, New York, over the years they have grown and expanded into the internationally known luxury department store that you know today. With our own heritage dating back to 1796, we couldn’t think of a better collaboration. Located on 5th Avenue, New York, Bergdorf Goodman boasts of hosting brands such as Christian Louboutin, Gucci, Prada, and many more…and now Peregrine!
For us, Bergdorf Goodman exudes luxury and class as well as unprecedented style. As part of their B. Shop project curated by Bergdorf Goodman Men’s Fashion Director Bruce Pask we have collaborated on five sweater designs which will be on sale online at BG.com/Bshop as well as in-store at the B. Shop on the third floor of the men’s store.
Seasonless style is more than just a look for us here at Peregrine. Seasonless style is about much more. We work hard to be as transparent as possible in our sustainable practices here at Peregrine. To name a few we; manufacture in the UK, support local British farmers, our jumpers are 100% wool so biodegrade, recycle materials, and are in the process of becoming carbon neutral. This month we want to talk about a more subtle sustainable practice. That is this idea of ‘Seasonless Style’.
In this consumerist world, we live in it is very easy to get wrapped up in the ‘more more more’ culture. Especially when it comes to fashion. In total, up to 85% of textiles go into landfills each year. That’s enough to fill the Sydney harbor annually. Trends are exciting and do a lot of good for people’s confidence but it is now time that we start to look outward at the bigger picture. Trends feed fast fashion and the notion that a garment is only relevant for a short period of time. This concept is extremely damaging for the planet and with large companies pushing more and more collections, some doing up to 22 new collections a year, we fear that this problem is only going to increase.
Here at Peregrine, we are trying to nurture the idea of Seasonless Style. We are proud of our core range of quality, environmentally conscious products that we plan to maintain in the future. With our British-made seasonless garments such as our Ford Crew, we want to encourage consumers to buy quality products that will look as good now as they will in 10 years’ time. It’s time to move the focus to quality, well-made, long-lasting garments and find joy in ourselves and the world around us rather than what everyone else is wearing.

Fashion Revolution Week is a campaign set up by the charity Fashion Revolution and is running from 16th – 25th April. During this week brands and producers are being encouraged to show their transparency by using the hashtag #imadeyourclothes.
Fashion Revolution is a non-profit global movement based in over 100 countries around the world. They aim to transform the fashion industry with a focus on transparency in the fashion supply chain. With the main question being ‘Who Made My Clothes?’
Here at Peregrine, we are incredibly proud of our history in manufacturing. Peregrine was set up by Thomas Glover in 1796 in Leicestershire. Peregrine has now been passed down through eight generations of the Glover Family and we still manufacture everything in our own factory here in England.
Every step from the very first design to the finishing stitch has been executed here in the UK and we are extremely proud of this. We can control everything about the garment production from start to finish and we have a close working relationship with the team at our Manchester based factory. We want our customers to be excited about where their clothing comes from.
PEREGRINE FABRICS
We hold pride in Peregrine being a 100% traceable brand. We believe that clothing should only be made of natural, biodegradable materials so that is why we use wool and cotton in our production. Research shows that more than 92% of the microplastics found in Arctic waters were microfibres – 73% of these were made of polyester and were of the same diameter and a wide range of colours as those used in clothes.
When wool is disposed of in soil or water, it takes a very short time to break down, whereas most synthetics and plastics are extremely slow to degrade, if at all. We truly love wool here at Peregrine and believe it is the most sustainable fabric available.
We are very excited to introduce you to our Regent Street shop! With a history as rich as our own we are honoured to have been invited to be a part of one of the world’s most prestigious lifestyle destinations, famous for its flagship stores and international brands. Regent Street had its 200th anniversary in 2019 and with our 250th anniversary this year, we thought it would be the perfect place to launch our Peregrine Clothing retail shop.
Named after the Prince Regent, the street was built in 1819 under the direction of architect John Nash and its Grade II listed facades represent some of the most distinguished architecture in London. When built, Regent Street was the original shopping street for the capital and has grown into a world-renowned destination that curates world-class shopping and other seasonal events. Regent Street is considered an unmissable destination in central London. Its position in the heart of London means that Regent Street is just a stone’s throw away from other vibrant destinations, including Oxford Street, Carnaby Street, Soho and Covent Garden, as well as the nearby open spaces of Green Park.
Our shop is opening on the 12th of April 2021 and we cannot wait to show you what we have in store. With our Spring/Summer 21 collection launching imminently our new shop will be stocking new lines as well as our favourite signature pieces.

I get a lot of inspiration from travelling and people watching. Fashion trade shows are a great way of seeing different fashions and styles from around the world. When it comes to designing a collection I like to have a story in mind and work around a theme.
I am interested in all trends, old and new, a lot can be dictated by previous success and listening to what our customers want and like from existing ranges. We tweak the good designs, to improve and adapt to global trends.
Practicality plays a huge factor in every garment I design. The Peregrine customer wants to be able to wear our garments in many different environments and situations, which makes design details and fabric selection very important.
Being a Made in England brand and retail price is also a huge factor. I want to offer the best price to customers, therefore I have a price point in mind when developing a garment. For example, if I want to sell a garment at a certain price, the manufacturing time is crucial.
I visit many different shows to see what new fabrics are coming through and want to stay competitive with prices. For us, the majority of our range is wool knitwear which we spin ourselves, therefore my main focus is the colour selection. We always consider sustainability and traceability for all our garments as we are a Made in England brand.
With our jackets, I work closely with the best mills in the UK and every season I work with them to develop new products and improve existing fabrics to suit our needs. It is important to work together and evolve an existing product to suit the current market
It’s important to see how the garments fit, pockets, drape in the environment it will be worn. Testing samples is mainly down to fit as we have already tested the fabrics before we put them into a sample.
Once a sample is as we want, we curate the collection, colours and fabric. From here we finalise the collection, before making salesman samples for our global customers. We will then take on feedback from our wholesale customers and retailers around the world who test the garments before they go into production.
Not all woollen garments need to be regularly washed as they are antibacterial and anti-odour but we have put together a step-by-step guide as to how to safely wash our jumpers.
Shear delight is available to purchase in our store.
After much anticipation, we are excited to introduce our Zero Waste collection. This season we’ve created a collection of men’s t-shirts and polos that are made with zero waste materials.
As a knitwear brand we wanted to stick to what we do best, knitwear, so we decided to combine our summer classic t-shirts with knitwear. Our design inspirations come from all-time classics that will never go out of style. From Breton stripes to a classic polo shirt we’ve got you covered.
At a time when more people are becoming more conscious about sustainability and knowing where their clothes are made, we believe it is important to carefully monitor the waste in clothing. This is why we have developed this capsule range of super soft organic cotton garments. The Zero Waste range is made on 18 gauge machines, from NILO organic cotton. The cotton we use is BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) regulated Egyptian cotton, which is simply the best. The cotton has some amazing properties:
This range mirrors Peregrine’s values as a company. We believe clothes should have a minimal impact on the environment. In a world where fast fashion is an ever-growing industry, we have decided to take it back to quality over quantity. As with everything we make, this collection is 100% made in England.
We have four different styles in our Zero Waste collection: The Knitted Polo, Emery Polo, Knitted Tee, Breton Tee, so there is a style for everyone.
There’s a chill in the air, the nights have drawn in and (dare we say it) Christmas is just around the corner. This is the perfect season for knitwear, so why does the phrase ‘Christmas jumper’ provoke such trepidation?
Contrary to popular opinion, Christmas jumpers don’t have to be gaudy and unsustainable. They can be stylish and loved all year round!
Based on a traditional Scandinavian pattern, our Larsen Crew neck is the perfect subdued alternative. The Larsen is crafted from Merino Wool and made in England. This jumper is durable, temperature regulating and made from pure natural fibres. Perfect for those chilly winter evenings.
Many of us let out a sigh of relief over the weekend as the national heat-wave let up for a few brooding days of rain and temperatures dropped closer to the 10’s than the 30’s. A reminder that our Summer, lightweight jackets are still required (albeit they made need some dusting off from the dark depths in which they have been stowed).
Furthermore, on this drizzling Monday afternoon, it does give us an excuse to draw your attention to our Spring menswear capsule and more specifically the printed jersey linings we have designed to give you something a little lighter, simpler and cleaner this summer.
Following the same narrative as our printed tees, the jackets use 185 gram premium cotton, screen-printed here in the U.K with designs reminiscent of the traditional cabling patterns we have built our foundations on as a knitwear manufacturer. A minimal, reductionist graphic that translates into a bold piece of artwork, playfully tucked away on the inside of your jacket.
The decorative linings, combined with detailing like our colour-pop zips and our heritage labels that tell a synopsis of the brands turbulent and humble beginnings, create jackets that become talking points from the inside out. Choose between the Bexley, Baxter and Walton – now available with 30% off in our Summer sale.
