With a variety of new styles and ideas introduced this year it is clear that these areas are still as important to brands as they have always been. Efforts have been made to give products a more contemporary, stylish look and this has been a big factor in the regrowth of these areas. Ralawise have matched this commitment by introducing many new styles and colourways into their own range.

The introduction of the continental brand Kariban has proved to be a great success for Ralawise. Created with fashion in mind, Kariban's varied selection of styles offers appeal to a vast assortment of consumers.

A particular favourite has been the KB928 Victor Acrylic/Wool Jumper. With an altered cut and rib styling, the jumper is made from 70/30 acrylic/wool and offers the casual style and comfort the modern male is looking for and provides a complimenting fit.

RTY has built its reputation on durable workwear solutions and has an assortment of workwear styles available. The RT021 V-neck Sweater is a popular style that is made from 50/50 wool/acrylic. With set-in-sleeves, this fashionable V-neck sweater features a knitted ribbed neck, cuff and welt is ideal for the workplace as part of a uniform.

Henbury’s HB742 is a fine example of the brands traditional look and style and is testimony to the quality they are known for. Made from 80/20 lambswool/nylon, the V-neck Jumper with contrast tipping is ideal for leisure or workwear.

Beechfield are well established in headwear solutions. The BC046 Chunky Knit ‘Pull on’ Acrylic Knitted Hat provides warmth and protection from the wet and windy conditions.
