A flock of Exmoor Longhorns to celebrate strong wool sheep from the UK and New Zealand and a flock of merino sheep promoting the finer wools of Australia and South Africa will be roaming around along with 27 pieces of bespoke wool menswear and archives of some famous tailors.

Woolly fashion
Styled by Luke Day and shot by Nick Leary in Scotland, featuring model Devon Windosor, some woolly garments from top fashion designers have been put together in both photography and film to celebrate the love of wool in fashion, both high street and luxury.
For the sixth consecutive year, Hackett and Finisterre will be collaborating with clothmakers to celebrate wool in their ranges and produce a limited edition range of knitwear.
