Peregrine was established in 1796 and is currently run by the eighth generation of the Glover family. Their finely crafted jumpers are produced in England, embracing skills and traditions that have been maintained for over two centuries, providing warmth, comfort and timeless classic style.

Thomas Glover began the family business at the turn of the eighteenth century in the small Leicestershire town of Wigston Magna – long renowned as an area of knitwear production. His two children took over the venture in 1824 and continued the hand frame knitting of jumpers using locally sourced yarn. As the company passed from one generation to the next it developed in scale and by the early 1900s had secured substantial contracts to supply knitwear to the British military.

By the 1920s, Peregrine employed over 300 people and, following a two-week boat journey across the Atlantic by then proprietor John Glover, started to export its products to the United States and other markets around the world.

After graduating in design in 2003, Tom Glover joined the business and soon began to remodel Peregrine Clothing in his own vision. Tom re-established the brand with clean, contemporary designs, adding woven goods (including shirts and outerwear) to the core collection of knitted garments. The brand continues to follow the values and philosophy that have seen the family business endure over two hundred years of changing times, and remains committed to the fact that everything is, and always will be, 100% Made in England.

The signature pieces of the Peregrine knitwear collection include a classic Irish Fisherman style Aran sweater, a timeless shawl-collar cardigan and simple waffle crew neck. These staple wardrobe items are all produced in a chunky 5 gauge knit using textured yarn spun with British wool sheared from Yorkshire-raised sheep.
