Fabrics that stand out
from the crowd

Hainsworth fabrics have been a visible presence at key moments in Britain’s history, and continue to be so. Our longevity is a measure of our commitment to excellence – a mark of the highest quality and consistency.

Apparel Fabrics

Leading designers and fashion houses such as Prada, Valentino and Dries Van Noten seek out Hainsworth Signature Fabrics for their exceptional quality and their unique history. But more than that, because we understand the creative process, we’re able to work in true collaboration with designers, helping them to bring their ideas into the world and onto the catwalk.

Ceremonial Fabrics

Hainsworth Signature Fabrics have earned a place in the history of the nation. For more than 200 years, we’ve produced the iconic scarlet fabric once worn in battle by British troops and still seen today at grand ceremonies and royal occasions. Today, Hainsworth Signature Fabrics have their place on parade grounds around the world, chosen for their high quality and consistency.

Interior Fabrics

Timeless design and exceptional quality have made Hainsworth Signature Fabrics a leading choice for designers seeking to create truly distinguished, heritage-inspired interiors. In fact, it’s this combination of quality and tradition that has earned Hainsworth a Royal Warrant for interior fabrics granted by Queen Elizabeth II.

Hainsworth costume fabrics

Costume Fabrics

Accuracy and authenticity. For costume designers, these are the vital threads that connect performers and audiences. They’re also the reasons why Hainsworth Signature Fabrics are the leading choice for theatre, film and TV, and re-enactment. The fabrics we create represent the fabrics of every era. Which for designers, means a unique opportunity to work with not just a replica, but with the self-same fabric that’s been in production for decades.

Academic Fabrics

We’ve been making academic blazer and scarf cloth for generations. School blazers and scarves are a symbol of pride and prestige for many students, and Hainsworth Signature Fabrics deliver both practical style and functional elegance. Our academic cloth is selected by educational institutions across the world.
