Alfred Brown (worsted Mills) Est. 1915

A Brief History

www.alfredbrown.co.uk

Alfred Brown is a family-owned and run worsted weaving mill in Yorkshire, England. Founded in 1915, the company began to weave uniform fabric for the armed forces, fire and police services. Merino wool is central to all our fabrics; we have been working with this excellent raw material for over 100 years. We take pride in the fact that our fabrics are not fast fashion; we design them to perform.
The mill has a reputation for producing genuine British fabrics in handle, design and performance. We are unique amongst UK mills; one of the few remaining that can achieve consistent mix and match on bulk suiting orders batch to batch, which our large retail customers demand. We manufacture a broad range of fabrics, which have been exported globally since the 1970s.
We are proud to have been manufacturing on the same site in the heart of Yorkshire for over 100 years. Throughout our history, we have invested consistently in the latest weaving technology. We aim to respect the traditional craft of weaving and drive efficiencies to maintain quality and a competitive edge.
