**Moderation Note**
This thread has been split and moved after the original thread was hijacked by a debate on the ethics, morals and economics of considering source of manufacture. Keep this thread for listing companies, this is not the place for an ethics debate. That is taking place in Other Chatter.

PLEASE confirm that the company you name is manufacturing, not just a UK/EU owned business. Keep posts short so that the company you are naming is easy to see/find.

If for any reason you do not approve of people considering where their products are made (and we recognise this is a valid and complex matter) please do not post your views here. They will be deleted. There is a thread open in Other Chatter for this purpose.

Thank you.

special air sea services, Lancaster, Did make a whole load of Bispoke Specialist clothing and equipment from SAS Kit-Carry smocks to Webbing (I believe they had turned to a more Bushcraft style webpage but can't find them).

another couple of older UK companies that made Military stuff:

RADAR: Made SAS style Jackets and Hydro-ram bivibags (I believe was a UK company).

Magmor: Made Military style nylon webbing pouches and bags(I believe was a UK company).

Arktis (mentioned #41): also make military Pouches and make those familiar hi-vis vests and pouches that the UK police use.
