Six mills in four towns, all within an hour of the Porto studio.
Spun
Merino from farms that meet the Responsible Wool Standard, blended with organic cotton and spun near Covilhã.
Knitted
Every panel is knitted to shape on flat-bed machines in Barcelos, so there are no cut edges to fray and almost no waste.
Linked
Shoulders and sides are joined stitch by stitch on a linking machine, the slow way, which is why the seams lie flat and never scratch.
Finished
Washed, pressed and checked by hand, then folded into a paper parcel in Porto and sent to you.
Worn through? Send it home.
Holes, thin elbows and frayed cuffs on any Halcy knit are mended at the mill that made it, for as long as you own it. You pay the postage one way; the repair and the return are on us.
