Why purchase from Watts & Co.?
Watts & Co. is about expertly made pieces in the highest quality fabrics. The utmost care goes into each item that makes up our vestments and clerical wear. Only the best fabrics, braids, linings and threads are used, with stringent quality control at each stage of creation. Our pieces stand the test of time.
What’s so special about Watts’ fabrics?
We weave silks, damasks, and brocades to our own historic designs, not found elsewhere. We are also proud to support the British weaving industry. The mill that weaves our silk was established in the 18th century, and their unparalleled skills have been passed down the generations.
What are your lead times?
Our usual lead times are between 6-8 weeks, though this can vary depending on the item or project in question. Orders for items we have in stock are usually dispatched within 1-2 working days. We will notify you of any delay. If you require an item urgently, please contact us and we will see if it can be delivered for the required date.
Do you sell clerical wear?
Many of the products in Watts' Clerical Wear ranges have now been moved to our sister company, J. Wippell & Co. Browse the clerical wear ranges on the Wippells website, where you'll find Custom Cassocks, Clergy Apparel, Choir Wear, and much more.
At Watts, we continue to offer tailored clerical wear including bespoke cassocks and frock coats.
