British Wool Quarter Zip - Brunel - Moss

Each Brunel is knitted using a purl and float stitch — that’s fancy knit-speak for “snug, soft, and seriously good-looking.” The YKK zipper, hand-linked with care, glides smoother than a Sunday drive through the Cotswolds.

Pull it on for crisp mornings, pub lunches, or just to feel like you’ve got your life together (even if you don’t). Durable, warm, and unapologetically British — this is heritage craftsmanship with a wink.

British Wool

British Wool has a long and storied history, integral to the UK's agricultural and economic heritage. Dating back to ancient times, wool production became particularly significant during the medieval period when it was a major export and a key economic driver. Today, British Wool is produced from various sheep breeds, each offering distinct wool qualities ranging from soft and fine to coarse and durable.

The wool industry in Britain involves both small family farms and larger commercial operations. After shearing, the wool is cleaned, carded, and spun into yarn, used in a variety of products from clothing to carpets. The British Wool organisation supports producers, promotes the wool, and ensures fair pricing, contributing to the industry's sustainability and quality.

British Wool is valued for its environmental benefits, as it is a natural, biodegradable fibre. It also maintains cultural significance, being central to traditional British crafts like knitting and weaving. Overall, British Wool stands out for its historical importance, versatility, and role in sustainable textile practices.

Isambard Brunel

Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806–1859) was one of Britain’s greatest engineers and a true pioneer of the Industrial Revolution. Born in Portsmouth, England, to a French engineer father, Marc Isambard Brunel, he showed exceptional talent for design and problem-solving from an early age. After studying engineering in France, Brunel began his career working on the Thames Tunnel in London — the first tunnel built beneath a navigable river — which laid the groundwork for his future innovations.

Brunel went on to transform transport and infrastructure in 19th-century Britain. As chief engineer of the Great Western Railway, he designed groundbreaking railway lines, bridges, and tunnels that connected London to the southwest of England. He also revolutionized maritime travel with his steamships, including the SS Great Western, SS Great Britain, and SS Great Eastern, which were the largest and most advanced ships of their time. Known for his ambition, creativity, and boldness, Brunel’s projects reshaped engineering standards and left a lasting mark on modern transport and construction.
