The steam barrier prevents the cotton from conducting heat so quickly on coming into contact with water. • The stripe for the Tom Kerridge range was inspired by the character Lance Corporal Jones, from Dad’s Army. The team at Lantex had been looking for a traditional butcher’s stripe like the one worn by the character and it so happened that their weaving partner, John Spencer, had produced something just like it.
