Founded in 1784 by Peter Nightingale and John Smedley at Lea Mills, Derbyshire, the company remains one of the world's oldest continuous manufacturers. Originally producing muslin and hosiery, it transitioned to fine knitwear during the nineteenth century. The brand gained cultural prominence in the 1960s through its adoption by the Mod movement and high-profile figures in film and music. It holds a Royal Warrant for its long-standing service to the British monarchy.
