My guest today is John Sugden of Campbell's of Beauly, a traditional highland tailor and accessories shop outside Inverness with a continuous history going back to 1858. We get into his background in the garment industry, the place of traditional tailoring and fabrics in modern times, how workers on the Highland estates still use unique tweeds for their workwear, doing ethical business in times of fast fashion, the role of profit margins, Royal Warrants and in general running a business far from the madding crowd.

Campbell's of Beauly is @campbellsofbeauly on Instagram and campbellsofbeauly.com on the web.
