About Us

Glencroft is a proud Yorkshire countrywear brand of proper decent clothing, all made from wool and sheepskin. Established in 1987 in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales taking inspiration from the surrounding countryside and way of life. Glencroft manufactures and responsibly sources as many products as possible in the UK, many of them have been made by the same people in the same way for the past 30 years. They make knitwear in the North of England and use traditional Yorkshire woollen mills. They use British Wool and sheepskin from British sheep, many of which will have been roaming Yorkshire fields. The business and brand was established in 1987 in Clapham, Yorkshire Dales by Richard and Justina Sexton. Richard has worked in the wool and sheepskin industry since the 1960s and it's this experience that we put into all our products. To this day the business is still operated out of the same converted cow barn opposite the village pub by Richard, Justina and now son Edward. Glencroft supplies to both retail shops and website wholesale as well as directly to consumers through their retail website.
