Episode 145 is in conversation with Creative Director of Finnieston Clothing Ross Geddes.

As ‘Glasgow’s Modern Heritage brand’, Finnieston Clothing looks to tell the story of the industrial workforces of the city’s past with quality and durability at the core of everything they create. Working closely with a historian, Ross explains that sharing archive images to promote their clothing is much more than just paying lip service to Glasgow’s industrial history, giving fascinating insight into the origins, inspirations and hard graft behind the brand. Collaborating with other local brands and partnering with Action on Asbestos, Finnieston Clothing looks to not only celebrate Glasgow’s craftsmanship both past and present but endeavours to approach the city’s heritage with absolute respect.
