Irish Linen Rougher the Sea Gift Tea Towel

Thomas Ferguson and Co (Ferguson's Irish Linen)

£125.95

Irish linen tea towels are well known for being some of the best you can get. We've taken our traditional stripe design, that has been in production for over a century, and further infused it with more Irishness (which we've decided is a word). Each tea towel in this collection features something extra in the central band. These make the perfect gift for someone with a taste for the tradition, with an extra hint of home. The rougher the sea the smoother we sail. Ahoy!

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 THOMAS FERGUSON & COMPANY, LIMITED, number R0000713. 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: "54 Scarva Road, Banbridge, BT32 3QD, Northern Ireland (Closed for Tours Currently)" — names a location but no site or process, so this corroborates uk_hq more than operations. 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.
