William Lockie Scottish Men's Knitwear
On the banks of the River Teviot in Hawick —the heart of Scotland’s textile industry— William Lockie has been knitting garments for men who recognize and appreciate quality since 1874. Affectionately known as “Lockies,” this family-owned business is world-renowned for one thing: the softest, finest, and most durable knitwear in the world. The employees come from the same local families that have worked at the company for generations—the know-how for the perfect stitch, the right tension, and the best fiber is passed down from hand to hand.
The men’s collection at The Scottish Shop features the classic Geelong lambswool sweater “Leven ”—lightweight, soft, and versatile, available in V-neck and crew neck styles, in colors ranging from beige to navy. The collection is complemented by lambswool slipovers for elegant everyday wear, fine cashmere hats in classic colors, and scarves made of cashmere and lambswool. Of particular note: the Light Fairisle sweater for men—an exclusive style available only at The Scottish Shop and nowhere else in the world. More exclusive William Lockie styles will be available soon—only here.
The Scottish Shop is your leading William Lockie retailer in Germany—with the largest selection of men’s clothing and many exclusive styles. Fast and reliable shipping from Germany.
