E. Tautz British fashion designer Patrick Grant has announced the launch of Community Clothing, a social clothing initiative dedicated to making clothes, creating jobs and restoring pride in the UK textile working community. Starting small with the initial goal of raising £100K on crowd funding platform Kickstarter over the next four weeks, this new company is also determined to make exceptional quality British clothing more affordable. Community Clothing was born out of Patrick’s thinking about the big structural issues that face UK clothing and textile businesses - namely huge seasonality of demand and the creation of long slack periods in the production schedules. Community Clothing will offer a concise range of quality, staple everyday garments. The first range will include men’s and women’s jeans (£49), a classic Harrington jacket (£79) and a cotton twill raincoat (£119). Production will begin in March with delivery to customers in July. Starting as an online store, Patrick is hoping to open the first Community Clothing shop this summer.
