We'd previously sworn that we'd never do a factory tour. What was the point? We get it, they make clothes. But when the opportunity came up to visit Sunspel's factory we couldn't turn it down because (a) it's a factory we were actually interested in visiting and (b) we also got to speak to two of their main figureheads in Nicholas Brooke and Jonathan Anderson. That alone makes it a more interesting proposition than just showing a sewing machine in slo-mo. We spoke to Nicholas and Jonathan about the history behind Sunspel, what attracted them to the brand and what they're adding to the Sunspel legacy.
