Double Silk Liner for Aircrew Glove

Southcombe Gloves

Designed to be worn underneath the aircrew gloves as a thermal insulator, these 100% pure silk liners ensure that hands are kept warm even in extreme cold weather conditions while at the same time they are light weight and do not compromise the excellent levels of dexterity required by modern aviation pilots. Constructed with two layers of this fine silk, and with an additional two layers on the cuff for extra contained insulation, these gloves are made from 100% knitted silk fabric produced in the UK.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as SOUTHCOMBE BROTHERS LIMITED, number 00372391. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "Southcombe own and operate a tannery, a glove factory, a warehouse and a head office" Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
