William Lockie – A Company with History

What makes a knitwear manufacturer that has been creating the softest sweaters from the finest natural fibres for nearly 150 years so special?

William Lockie continues to produce in the same location – in the Scottish Borders.

The knitwear is luxurious, precisely crafted and free from unnecessary trends – understated and elegant.

The secret to success lies in combining traditional craftsmanship, long-standing supplier relationships and the consistent use of top-grade wool.

This wool is sourced from places like Australia, China and Mongolia.

In Hawick, right by the River Teviot, skilled professionals process the finest natural fibres. The wool is washed in soft Scottish water and then transformed into luxurious knitwear.

Traditional knowledge meets modern technology – for perfection in every detail.

Good to know: William Lockie does not use yarn from suppliers who allow mulesing and adheres to the Five Freedoms of the Farm Animal Welfare Council.

Our William Lockie Collection

Wide range of sweaters, cardigans and knitwear

Each natural fibre has its own purpose – such as cashmere in single-, double- or four-ply quality. You choose: light and elegant or thick and warming.

Timeless Menswear

Super Geelong sweaters with V-neck or crew neck feature a classic fit and superior comfort.

The wool comes from young sheep in South Australia – finely spun and dyed in stunning colours.

It doesn’t pill, keeps its shape, and some versions are even machine washable at 30°C (delicate cycle).

Lambswool Sweaters – Cozy & Low Maintenance

Whether turtlenecks, cable knits or zippers – these sweaters fit perfectly and offer reliable warmth.

Combine with shirt, jeans and belt for a smart, casual everyday look.

Cashmere Sweaters – Fit for Royalty

Only the fine undercoat of mountain goats from Mongolia and China is used – lovingly crafted in Scotland.

The result: sweaters that keep you warm even at –40°C and feel featherlight.

Wool Jackets with Character

Whether rustic with patch pockets and chunky buttons, or elegant like the Gordon Cardigan with five refined buttons in anthracite –

William Lockie cardigans offer the right option for every style.

Stylish Hats & Scarves

William Lockie’s beanies and scarves combine functionality with refined design.

Made from the finest wool or cashmere, they’re warm, soft and stylish – in a wide range of colours and patterns.
