Antich Ethical Practice

Our suits have one of the lowest, if not the lowest carbon footprint of any tailored suit on the market in the UK.

Sustainability and Ethical Practice Code

We are proud to say that sustainable practice is very much part of our DNA here at Antich Fine English Tailors, a part of our identity before legislation and certification began to challenge manufacturers and retailers around the world.

Finding ways to improve something we do or a process we undertake occurs daily, with the aim of making it better for our environment, our community, and our economy. As developments and advances occur within production and recyclability, we promise that we will continuously seek ways to advance further. 

Our current actions:

  • Seek out the most sustainable, environmentally conscious option available to us.
  • Where possible, all elements of the garment and packaging is made in England. Equally, anyone we affiliate with should also strive to live by this standard.
  • All our Antich Fine English Tailor branded suits, including bespoke and personal tailoring are made in-house, in Huddersfield. Our showroom is 40 footsteps from our garment production suite. 
  • No carbon footprint from air miles or transport until it leaves with you or for you.
  • All our employees live within the local area. A true family-owned and community-based company.
  • Every staff member is paid the UK living wage or above.
  • We recycle and re-use as much as possible.
  • We support and work with local charities.
  • Electric company cars and charging points.
  • We adhere to the audit parameters set out by RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) on behalf of our wool farmers.
  • 50% renewable energy. Planning is also in progress to install solar panels on our roof, with the aim for 100% renewable energy by 2025.

Our suits have been developed with thought – to extend their life, accommodate as many shapes and sizes as possible, and offer multibuy and replacement options to include:

  • A generous seam allowance to allow alterations up and down by up to 2”. 
  • Available as separates, as we understand not every gentleman has a 6” drop from chest to waist, as well as giving an option for multiple trousers and a waistcoat option should you want one today or next year.
  • Extended unhemmed trouser length - 38” in our long length trousers. 
  • The ability to place a personalised order if our standard sizes still don’t accommodate you.

Charity

Here at Antich Fine English Tailors, community is at the heart of what we do. We strive to support and raise awareness of many charities and projects. Alongside many of the things we do, we have selected three key charities to work in support of; to raise awareness, help raise funds where possible and where we can - help out in person. These charities are either local to us, personal to us or both.

Charities we support

Forget-me-not Children’s hospice: Our local children’s hospice delivering care through pregnancy, childhood and loss. Supporting families and children whenever it is needed.

The Brain Tumour Charity: The Brain Tumour Charity is the world’s leading brain tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally.
