Drumohr
Drumohr is a Scottish knitwear brand known for its high-quality wool garments, particularly sweaters and cardigans. The company was founded in 1770 by James Paterson in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, making it one of the oldest knitwear companies in the world.
The brand's name, "Drumohr," is derived from the Gaelic "Druim Uachdar," meaning "the top of the ridge" or "high ground," reflecting the landscape of its origins.
Drumohr products are often characterized by their distinctive textures, including their signature "rasato" (shaved) finish, which involves meticulously shearing the wool to create a smooth, refined surface. This process contributes to the softness and comfort of the garments.
Over its long history, Drumohr has gained a reputation for craftsmanship and enduring style. The brand utilizes various types of wool, including merino and lambswool, often sourced from reputable farms and suppliers.
Drumohr's garments are sold in select retailers and boutiques worldwide, catering to a clientele seeking classic and sophisticated knitwear with a heritage appeal. The brand continues to produce its garments in Scotland, preserving its connection to its Scottish roots and traditions.
