Wolsey, England's prestigious clothing brand established since 1755, is now offering its products online to discerning Maltese customers through a new venture www.wolsey.com.mt.
Wolsey is mainly known for its high quality men's knitted sweaters, underwear and socks, although today it also offers a full range of men's woven shirts, and a collection of knitwear and tops for women.
All orders are shipped from the UK's main warehouse to a Maltese distribution point and then are delivered either by post or by hand direct to the customer's door.
Payment is made via Paypal, as this avoids the risk of giving out one's credit or debit card numbers online. One could also e-mail Wolsey in Malta on sales@wolsey.com.mt for any further information required.
Wolsey started out as a cottage industry venture in Leicester 1755 using hand knitting looms but always focused on quality. When the industrial revolution started in England in the mid-1880s the company quickly moved into a steam-powered factory.
This enabled Wolsey to drastically increase production and also its product range and quality appeal. It was in the late 1880s that the actual brand name Wolsey was registered inspired by the renowned historical figure Cardinal Wolsey who was actually buried a couple of 100 metres from the Wolsey factory at Abbey Meadows in Leicestershire.
In 1911 Wolsey gained much publicity when it supplied tailor-made undergarments to both Captain Scott and Norwegian Roland Amudsen and their respective teams in their race to reach the South Pole. Likewise in 1919 Wolsey supplied Sir Ernest Shackleton for his Murmansk expedition.
Throughout its colourful history Wolsey was always at the forefront in its line of business. It has carried Royal Warrants on its products since 1935 starting from King George V, and retained throughout the Royal Monarchy including the current Queen, HM Elizabeth II.
Today Wolsey enjoys a global presence in all continents, remaining a leader in its class, as it always has been since its inception in 1755. Its market segment is the high quality segment, with a slightly understated fashion style, wearable for any occasion.
