Looking for UK Clothing Manufacturers?
Hawthorn is one of the UK’s leading clothing manufacturers, producing garments of the highest quality. We offer a full scale manufacturing solution, proudly supporting fashion startups, small clothing brands, SMEs and emerging designers.
Manufacturing process – how it works
Every garment we produce is custom made to the requirements of the customer, so we have developed a standard process which is applied to all orders. Other UK based clothing manufacturers may only work from tech packs, but we can help get designs production ready, guiding you through each step.

Pre production
The process begins with your idea. We guide you through the stages of making your concept a reality.
- View and trial your designs digitally in 3D to get them production ready

Pattern development
Patterns for your clothing are developed using custom dimensions or sizing references.
Fit replication, pattern cutting and grading included as standard

Fabric sourcing
Fabric is sourced or produced per order to meet your requirements for composition, handfeel and budget.
- Optional pantone dyeing to meet brand design and colour specifications

Prototypes & sampling
Each order includes a prototype for approval, allowing you to refine your design before we commence bulk manufacture.
- A sample of each design is included for free with every order

Bulk manufacturing
Clothing manufacturing takes place on our production line, with your approved specifications forming the basis for bulk.
- All garments are handmade in bulk to the highest quality in our factory

Quality check
We implement a 4 stage quality check process, with each item checked by an operative to identify and rectify any rare defects.
- After QC, clothing is shipped from our factory to your address in the UK or overseas
