Buying British bike products

[Jak*]

Hi, just for the record I voted remain and remain proud of that. However since the country voted to leave I have been waiting for those who voted leave to come up with a plan, so far the usual answer from our countries 'leaders' and the Brexiteers seems to be 'Keep Calm and Carry On' however someone suggested buying British. An article in the Torygraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/news ... it-be.html
showed how difficult that is.
We all know which new bikes we could buy, Norton, Rickman, CCM and Triumph although CCM has a lot of European parts and some Triumph parts (bikes?) are made in Malaysia I believe. But what about British bike products? I just received a new pair of Hood jeans through the post today and can highly recommend them, these are my third pair. The first pair I was wearing when I got knocked off years ago doing about 50, and although I had some minor bruises at scratches my legs were pretty much unscathed. I would also highly recommend Altberg boots, although the consistency of sizing seems to have gone to pot lately, and I think some of them are made in Italy. They still remain the most comfortable bike boots I have ever owned if you want to walk anywhere and they are still some of the toughest on the market.
Any other suggestions of quality British bike kit?
Cheers Jak

Loads of stuff is UK Based, think of all the painters, upholsterers and customisers just for a start. How many folk on here have bought British made luggage?

Lots of the technology for car and bike is UK developed, Harrison, Harris etc.

I don't go out of my way to buy British but I do happen to ride a Triumph in Hood jeans with a Snugpak sleeping bag and Vango tent strapped to the back.
