Marks & Spencers: Best of British

All I seem to be doing at the moment is rambling on about British this that and the other, but it is a sign of our times. There is an inextricable shift towards being a more self sufficient country in terms of produce, better supporting our retailers for a more sustainable future and sustaining our historic mills and factories.

Tomorrow sees Marks and Spencers' bring their Best of British range to selected stores (Kensington and Marble Arch in London, Bluewater in Kent, Edinburgh and Camberley in Surrey) and online. This is a big push by a huge British retailer to promote home grown manufacturing.

The premium range, made entirely in the UK will include fabrics from Abraham Moon, Albert Brown, Holland & Sherry, Clissold, Todd & Duncan and a long standing partner Harris Tweed

They have also enlisted the help of Joseph Cheaney & Sons with the appropriate footwear to accompany the line.

A preview of the 40 piece range was on show at the London Collections: Men back in June and has captured the attention of the media and men's style magazines ever since. 

Hopefully this will be a continued project for M&S and we will see the range grow over the next few seasons.

Below are some of the best bits from the collection out tomorrow:
