2025 was a year of some pretty amazing numbers for Community Clothing, but there are two that mean more than all the others. The first is 1,000,000. That’s the number of pounds we raised back in May through our crowdfunding campaign. Huge thanks to the roughly 2,000 of you who helped us reach this number in just under 46 hours!!! This money meant that we could grow our impact even more, adding new factory partners, creating even more work, and more seriously big numbers. Like 10 kilometres; the amount of cotton jersey our factories have knitted this year for our t shirts, pants and sweatshirts. Or 100,000; the number of socks our two sock factories have knitted in 2025! Or 36,000; the number of rivets our jeans factory have applied to our jeans this since last January! All of this manufacturing leads to our second amazing number; 573,000. That’s the number of hours of skilled manufacturing work Community Clothing has to date created here in the UK thanks to your amazing support. We were founded just 9 years ago to do two things; make good affordable clothes, and create skilled local work; and to know that we’re doing both, in such a serious way, makes us seriously happy. Rest assured we’ll be working hard to make those numbers even bigger in 2026! Happy New Year! |

PS: we’ve also calculated that there’ve been about 920,000 cuppas drunk during our factory’s tea breaks this year. That’s serious supping. We should be sponsored by Tetley. |

Everything we do is a celebration of the people, the skills and the traditions of the amazing factories we work with, all of them the very best of their kind, all of them deeply embedded in the culture and history of their communities.
Great photographs don’t just show our clothes, they tell our story and connect you with what we do.
Our philosophy around photography is really simple: just keep it honest. Shoot the clothes as they are, don’t alter or pin them, don’t retouch. When our clothes arrive and you put them on we want them to look like the clothes you see in the pictures.
