New Plymouth
Our idea was to help bring manufacturing back to Plymouth city centre and make durable British clothing inspired by naval workwear.
The Devonport Jacket and The Stoke Boiler Suit are made by hand to your order.
Let us know your size when you place your order and email us the date you’d like to receive it – we will deliver free of charge.
The unisex jacket and women’s boiler suit use luxury heavy weight and weather proofed Cotton Drill from British suppliers.
We are a Co Operative with manufacturer Studio PL1 and both businesses operate in Plymouth city centre.
New Plymouth makes clothing for people who lead colourful lives.
Studio PL1 makes samples and does small production.
For New Plymouth clothing address emails to Chris
For Studio PL1 address emails to Anna.
