Seasalt joins forces with Community Clothing for capsule menswear collection

Cornish clothing brand Seasalt has teamed up with British brand Community Clothing on a capsule range of four menswear garments – all made in the UK.

Keeping it simple, with a focus on quality fabrics and homegrown manufacturing skills, there’s a chore jacket, selvedge jeans, a jumper and walking socks.

Seasalt Chief Creative Officer, Laura Watson, said: “As we’ve been growing our Seasalt menswear collection in recent years, it was their experience in denim in particular which attracted them to us, as we believe our customers will appreciate the new jeans in our range.

“We’ve worked with core Community Clothing shapes, drawing on our distinctive Seasalt colour palette, and the resulting range perfectly reflects Cornish style and UK craft. We’re looking forward to seeing the reaction from our customers.”

Community Clothing founder and designer, Patrick Grant, known to many as a judge on the BBC’s ‘The Great British Sewing Bee’, added: “Community Clothing has always celebrated the very best of British workmanship and the wonderful things that make our textile communities such great places to live and work.

“Likewise, Seasalt has always celebrated the best of their small corner of Britain. From the colourful social and industrial heritage to the beautiful land and seascapes, they celebrate all that makes Cornwall wonderful. It was a pleasure to work with them on this project.”

The chore jacket is a contemporary take on a timeless workwear staple, cut and sewn in Blackburn, Lancashire, and constructed with a quality cotton canvas milled in Todmordern – “creating a local supply chain and minimising environmental impact”.

The jacket is made for an easy fit, with a four-button placket, designed with three external pockets and an internal chest pocket inspired by heritage workers’ jackets.

The raw, selvedge, straight, five pocket jeans are fully riveted, cut and sewn with felled seams and come with a chain-stitched hem out of Community Clothing’s Blackburn factory.

Next up is the Community Clothing x Seasalt crew neck jumper, made in Scotland and knitted with a quality two-ply lambswool yarn spun in Yorkshire. With an easy fit designed to be worn day-in, day-out, the jumper is described as “a wardrobe centrepiece” - designed with saddle shoulders and classic ribbed trims for a neat finish at the neck, cuffs and hem.

Completing the collection is the “perfect pair of walking socks”, ribbed and cushioned for comfort. They're knitted in Hathern, Leicestershire, with a soft organic cotton blend, “ideal for strolls on the beach and coastal paths”.

Customers can shop the collection on the Seasalt Cornwall website from 15 October, with prices ranging from £8.50 for the socks to £128 for the selvedge jeans.
