Customer Testimonials

“Hainsworth cloth is by far the best snooker cloth that I have worked with. The pool cloth with or without print is very durable and responsive to play on.”

Pro Fit

"AW Hainsworth is one of the oldest and best woollen mills in the world. They’ve been doing this a long time, they really know what they're doing. Community Clothing has only ever used their melton cloth for our woollen coats."

Patrick Grant, Community Clothing

“Hainsworth has always been a loyal supplier and we receive high quality products. The service has always been top class.”

Knud Danielson ApS

"We’ve been delighted with the way that ECO-DRY has performed as part of our wildland ensemble. It wicks away moisture really well, which helps to keep you cool in such tough environments. In comparison to other wildland garments that I’ve tested, which can feel like wearing cardboard, the comfort that ECO-DRY provides is incredible."
