00:10Tailors. We are what we believe is the UK's only weave-to-wear tailor, which means we
00:15weave our own fabric in-house, all our garment production is in-house, we've got a cutting
00:19room, press room, and everything you see down this side of the shop has been designed and
00:25woven and made here. So customers can come here and they can choose something that has
00:32been fully made in Huddersfield, made in Yorkshire. We also offer a bespoke service,
00:38so people can choose their own fabric and design their own products here as well,
00:43all again designed, cut, made and produced in-house. If you want to come with me,
00:49you'll pass some of the fabulous suits we have as well, which again,
00:53all part of the weave-to-wear range that we do here. And you will see out of the window where
00:58you can see our warping department within our factory, so our showroom physically overlooks
01:04our production. Here you'll see the warping machines, so you've got a few creels you can
01:11see and that can create up to 60,000 metres of warp. The warp is the long length of a fabric
