Paul James

What and Who is Paul James?

Paul James, also known as Paul James Knitwear, is a luxury knitwear manufacturer based in Leicestershire, England, United Kingdom, and founded in 1976 by none other than knitwear designer, Paul James.

As a clothing brand, Paul James has had many twists and turns over the years, and has since grown to become one of the world’s leading knitwear brands. Creating staple knitwear pieces that are made from 100% natural fibers by expert spinners around the world, and produced almost exclusively in its own factories, Paul James is able to offer high quality knitted clothing at affordable rates to shoppers around the globe.

What is Paul James' Philosophy?

Paul James prides itself on making “luxuriously comfortable clothing” for men and women alike. Sourcing its yarns from the most high quality providers around the world, and utilizing expert spinners when crafting their knitwear pieces, you can tell the difference when you buy a Paul James product as opposed to any other brand.

What Makes Paul James Stand Out As an Clothing Brand?

There are many reasons why Paul James stands out in the crowd as a leader among knitwear designers and manufacturers around the world. Here are just a few of the reasons why we love them…

High Quality Yarn From Around the World

Paul James has shied away from using artificial fabrics, using only 100% natural fibers when making it’s quality knitwear clothing. Sourcing from the world’s finest spinners, here’s where Paul James goes when looking for all the right products:

British wool and lambswool are found right in Paul James’ backyard. As the United Kingdom is known for its high quality woolen products, the British Isles are the perfect place to look! In addition, the finest cotton is sources from both Egypt and India, while Supima cotton is found in our very own United States of America, and is ASA (American Supima Association) approved.

Likewise, the best cashmere yarn is purchased directly from the world’s leading cashmere yarn spinners at Todd & Duncan. In addition, Paul James find its incredibly warm alpaca wool from the Andes Mountains in Peru, while Merino wool can be found in Italy and Peru.

No Man-Made Fibers Equals More Sustainability

Did you know that all-natural fibers benefit the environment? It’s true! When purchasing a knitwear product made from 100% natural fabrics, you’re choosing the option that is healthiest for the world in which we live. All-natural fabrics are 100% biodegradable, require minimal washing, (thus saving on water), and are easily repairable, meaning that they will last much longer than your average artificial fabrics.

In addition, natural fibers are breathable and incredibly comfortable. Featuring what is called the “bounce back” factor, clothing made from natural fibers, such as what Paul James produces, will consistently hold their shape. Plus, natural fabrics hold color better, meaning that the dyed clothing will appear brighter and more vibrant for much longer than most synthetic fabrics.

Classic Wardrobe Staples

Paul James’ clothing is made for everyday wear as well as for those special occasions when something more posh is required. By designing classic clothing styles that are timeless, as well as functional, Paul James has continued the long-standing tradition of creating those wardrobe staples that you can keep in your possession and wear for years to come. Now, that’s what we call investment shopping!
