We Are England S2022E45 - Made in England - Our Northern Jacket Empire

Worn by everyone from fishermen to fashionistas, waxed jackets are an iconic fashion item part of the fabric of England. In a factory off the north east coast, a team of high-skilled workers handmake 650 waxed jackets a day. It's been in the hands of one family for over a hundred years and is run today by Dame Margaret Barbour. We meet the team of workers keeping these traditional skills alive and bringing old jackets back to life.
