Ian Davenport and his family have been specialist, and expert, garment manufacturers for many years in the Midlands.
Enhanched comfort
Although primarily major suppliers of fashion garments to some of the biggest retailers in the country Ian’s deep knowledge of materials and yarns, and his technically extremely advanced machinery and expertise, meant he was ideally placed to be able to deliver uniquely comfortable and effective garments.
Skinnies garments
Since the start of 2008 Ian and David have worked hard with a wide range of hospitals, senior health practitioners , parents and actual garment users to desig, redesign and thoroughly test a brand new product range of Skinnies garments which are:
- seam free to avoid movement restrictio, bulk and friction
- have a better body fit for more comfort and are superbly soft and wearable
- come in different colours to avoid the medical bandage look and encourage use
- have been tested to withstand more than 50 washes for real durability
They have made sure that these garments exceed the exacting standards required by the British National Formulary so they are available on prescription on the NHS
