There's a really interesting sweet spot where Scandinavian minimalism meets classic British tailoring, and Wax London sits right in the middle of it. Launched in 2015 by friends Richard Singh, Tom Holmes, and Steffy Neceva, the label started with a very specific mission: to bring traditional outerwear manufacturing back to the UK. Rather than chasing fleeting streetwear trends, they built their reputation on characterful, everyday staples that feel immediately familiar. Their approach to design is deeply personal, pulling heavy inspiration from family heritage, local pub culture, and the everyday energy of city life. Striking a perfect balance between relaxed silhouettes and rugged textiles, the company is proudly headquartered in London, England.
When it comes to production, the brand is highly transparent about maintaining ethical standards across a split supply chain. Their core outerwear pieces—like their classic Crombie-style coats and traditional waxed macs—are proudly cut and sewn directly in London. For their famous intricately woven Whiting Overshirt, they source unique recycled yarns from a historic, family-run mill in France that dates back to the 1920s. The remainder of their catalog, including organic cotton basics and tailored trousers, is carefully manufactured by specialized partner factories across Portugal, Italy, and Turkey. Proving that accessible, sustainable menswear doesn't have to sacrifice style or construction, their flagship outerwear remains proudly made in the UK.
