Our purpose
We champion the dignity of craft, and the return to an older philosophy of garment making which puts quality above all else.
Partnering with master craftsmen from heritage garment making strongholds such as Scotland and Japan, renowned for setting the world's highest standards, we create garments that combine a modern aesthetic with heirloom quality - quality that gets better with age and sees you through years of wear if looked after.
Common in a bygone era, though rare today.
"Certainly, if you’re looking for investment-grade quality, Colhay's knits are superb." - Robb Report
“Colhay’s has gone to great lengths to ensure that every step of its production upholds the manufacturing calibre that it has been founded upon. It even lists the provenance of much of its yarn online - a refreshing approach in an industry that is often hazy on details.” - Brummell Magazine
“Over at Colhay’s, you can find a really chunky, super-fine lambswool rib-stitch model [of the shawl collar cardigan] that comes in a variety of colours, and a cashmere version in navy, ecru and olive. These are definitely more jacket - or even coat - than knitwear.” -The Times
