What is the appeal of the world's oldest knitwear brand, Drumohr?

Drumohr is a knitwear brand with the world’s oldest tradition. This brand, which is also patronized by the British Royal Family, combines traditional Scottish techniques with modern Italian fashion. In this issue, we will introduce the history, characteristics, outfits, and items of Dolmohr!

What is Drumohr?

Dolmor was founded in 1773 in the town of Dumfries, Scotland. The water in this region contained abundant amounts of calcium, making it ideal for cleaning woolen yarns. The cashmere finished with this water has a very soft touch, so Dolmor excelled at spinning cashmere knitwear. 250 years later, it is the oldest knitwear brand in the world, offering high-quality items.

Origin of the brand name “Drumohr

The founder, James Patterson, has devoted his life to knitwear. His dedication and passion for craftsmanship was passed down to his grandson, James Alexander Robertson, who in the early 1800s moved his base of operations to “Drumore Farm” in Roshrutton, about 5 miles west of Dumfries. The name of the land gave rise to the ” Drumohr ” brand name.

Drumohr is a knitwear brand that developed the world’s first seamless knitwear.

While many manufacturers shifted to mechanization in pursuit of efficiency due to the special demands of the Industrial Revolution, Drumohr consistently stuck to handmade products. As a result of his thorough pursuit of detail and high quality comfort, DOLMORE achieved the feat of inventing the world’s first seamless knitwear.

Normally, knitwear is manufactured by knitting separate parts such as the front, back, and sleeves and then sewing them together. In contrast, seamless knitwear is knitted three-dimensionally, directly from the knitting machine, as a whole garment. This enhances the feel and lightness of knitwear and improves drape, making it the “ideal knitwear.

Joined the Italian knitwear company “Ciocca” and established its position as a fashion brand.

In 2001, the ” Dolmor ” brand was purchased by the Ciocca Group, a long-established Italian knitwear company. After moving its design base to Italy, Dolmor brought in Pierangelo D’Agostin and his wife, who had worked for Lamb and Jil Sander, as creative directors in 2009, and developed a fresh collection that blends tradition and modernity. They redefined the brand image and established its position as a leading fashion brand.

Dolmor incorporates the essence of Italian modernity. The company now has a factory in Brescia Quinzano, Italy, but still uses the same high quality water used in Scotland, where the company was founded, to finish its knit fabrics. Although the location may change, the company’s traditional techniques and thorough adherence to quality will never fade away.

What is Dolmor’s finest merino “Super Geelong Lamb’s Wool”?

This high quality wool is knitted from the wool of the Pedigree breed of Geelong lamb, which is bred only in Geelong, Jeevictoria, Australia. The rarity of this wool is not hard to imagine, as it can only be harvested once in a lifetime from a purebred Geelong lamb, which is harvested when it is six months old.

The appeal of Dolmohr: “Items other than knitwear are also excellent.

As the world’s oldest knitwear brand, Dolmor tends to be associated with knitwear. In fact, however, the company also boasts high quality products other than knit items. Among them, the polo shirts made with high count yarn, which is also used for dress shirts, are highly evaluated, and both short-sleeved and long-sleeved polo shirts are popular items. In addition to being comfortable to wear, polo shirts made by DOLMORE excel in having a dressy atmosphere with a collar.

The same comfort that has been cultivated in knitwear production is also replicated in T-shirts.
