##Fabriqué à la Main au Pays de Galles

Fondée en 1892 par Rhys Jones, l'entreprise reste dirigée par la famille Jones à ce jour. Corgi représente l'un des rares cas de manufacture textile britannique continue ayant survécu à la contraction industrielle. La maison produit des chaussettes et des articles de maille de luxe sous sa propre marque, tout en fabriquant pour des maisons de haute couture. Elle détient un Royal Warrant initialement accordé en 1989 par le Prince de Galles de l'époque, aujourd'hui le Roi Charles III, témoignant d'un approvisionnement de longue date auprès de la Maison Royale. Un geste de reconnaissance impressionnant pour le service constant, la fiabilité et le niveau de qualité délivrés au fil du temps

Craftsmanship

##Tous les pulls ne sont pas tricotés de la même façon. 50% cachemire et 50% laine d'agneau superfine filés à la perfection. Provenant de Todd & Duncan, notre pull cricket est composé de 50% de cachemire écossais et 50% de laine d'agneau superfine Lamaine, tricoté sur une machine à tricoter à cadre main dubied double fonture 5gg. Torsadé à la main, 100% fully fashioned. Il faut les fibres du sous-poil blanc et duveteux de trois chèvres pour obtenir suffisamment de matière pour un seul pull. Une combinaison de peignage et de tonte est utilisée pour collecter les matières premières durables du désert de Gobi, où les chèvres sont gardées par des éleveurs nomades en troupeaux de 2 à 300 têtes, vivant ensemble dans des environnements extrêmes, avant de ramener les fibres récoltées au Royaume-Uni pour le traitement. Les techniques traditionnelles utilisées par Todd & Duncan créent un produit de qualité supérieure, un fil de cachemire qui bouloche beaucoup moins que les autres. Bien que le boulochage soit naturel avec l'usage et ne puisse être complètement évité, la longévité d'un pull ou d'une pièce tricotée commence en fin de compte par la manière dont son fil est créé. Le modèle d'approvisionnement de Corgi est un processus dans lequel la fibre est traitée et filée par des filatures européennes spécialisées (comme Todd & Duncan dans ce cas) avant d'être livrée au Pays de Galles pour le tricotage et la finition, devenant ainsi un vêtement. Ils préfèrent travailler avec des poils individuels longs et fins pour le cachemire et la laine d'agneau, ce qui donne un produit moins sujet au boulochage et à la fissuration que les offres de qualité inférieure ou les imitations. Les vêtements à fil moyen, comme le 4-plis, ont un toucher plus doux et légèrement plus lourd, car le nombre de plis fait référence au nombre de fils torsadés ensemble pour former un seul brin.

Material

##Production galloise, réalisée par des artisans qualifiés utilisant des méthodes traditionnelles dans l'atelier. Corgi fonctionne comme une usine spécialisée dans le tricotage et la finition plutôt que comme une filature intégrée verticalement. L'usine d'Ammanford se concentre sur le tricotage, le remaillage, le lavage, le repassage et la finition à la main plutôt que sur la transformation des fibres brutes. La production combine des machines à tricoter traditionnelles, incluant des techniques de tricotage à la main pour certaines lignes de maille, avec un équipement de tricotage moderne. L'un des détails de construction distinctifs de l'entreprise est l'utilisation de coutures d'orteils remaillées à la main dans de nombreuses chaussettes, un processus de finition exigeant en main-d'œuvre qui réduit l'épaisseur au niveau de la couture et améliore le confort. L'usine est reconnue pour le tricotage à jauge fine, le travail d'intarsia complexe et les petites séries de production qui permettent une exécution complexe de couleurs et de motifs. En termes structurels, la valeur de Corgi réside moins dans la transformation des fibres que dans la précision du tricotage, le contrôle de la finition et le savoir-faire technique transmis de génération en génération au sein de la main-d'œuvre galloise.

Handmade in Wales

Founded in 1892 by Rhys Jones, it remains family-run by the Jones family to this day. Corgi represents one of the rare cases of continuous British textile manufacturing surviving industrial contraction. The firm produces luxury socks and knitwear under its own label while also manufacturing for high-end fashion houses. It holds a Royal Warrant originally granted in 1989 by the then Prince of Wales, now King Charles III, reflecting long-standing supply to the Royal Household. An impressive gesture of recognition for the consistent service, reliability, and product standard delivered over time

Product Material

Not all sweaters are knitted equal. 50% cashmere and 50% superfine lambswool spun to perfection.

Sourced from Todd & Duncan, our cricket sweater is comprised of 50% scottish cashmere and 50% Lamaine superfine lamb's wool knitted on a 5gg dubied double bed hand-framed knitting machine. Hand cabled 100% fully fashioned. It requires fibres from the white, downy undercoat of three goats to yield enough for one sweater alone. A combination of combing and shearing is used to collect the sustainable raw materials from the Gobi desert, where the goats are tended by nomadic farmers in herds of 2-300, living together in extreme environments, before bringing the harvested fibres back to the UK for processing. The traditional techniques used by Todd & Duncan create a higher quality product, a cashmere yarn that pills much less than others. While pilling is natural with wear and cannot be avoided completely, the longevity of a sweater or knitted piece ultimately begins with how its yarn is created. Corgi's sourcing model is a process in which fibre is processed and spun by specialist European mills (such as Todd & Duncan in this case) before being delivered to Wales for knitting and finishing, becoming a garment. They prefer to work with long, fine individual hairs for cashmere and lambswool, which make for a product less prone to pilling and splitting than low-grade or imitation offerings. Medium ply garments, such as 4-ply, have a softer and slightly heavier feel to the garment, as the ply refers to the number of yarns twisted together to form one individual strand. Archibald London A $3,000 Men’s Scarf for $575? A New Kind of Bargain by S. Christian (03/05/2017), The Wall Street Journal.

Welsh production, performed by skilled craftspeople using traditional methods on the factory floor.

Corgi operates as a specialist knitting and finishing factory rather than a vertically integrated spinning mill. The Ammanford facility focuses on knitting, linking, washing, pressing, and hand-finishing rather than raw fibre processing. Production combines traditional knitting machinery, including hand-framing techniques for certain knitwear lines, with modern knitting equipment. One of the company’s defining construction details is the use of hand-linked (hand-closed) toe seams in many socks, a labour-intensive finishing process that reduces the bulk at the seam and improves comfort. The factory is known for fine-gauge knitting, intricate intarsia work, and small-batch runs that allow for complex colour and pattern execution. In structural terms, Corgi’s value lies less in fibre transformation and more in knit precision, finishing control, and generational technical knowledge embedded within the Welsh workforce.
