Behind the scenes our Spring launch
We’ve been shooting product videos here at Finisterre for seven years now. We go to the same spot, just behind the workshop, it’s this green door, looks like you could blow it down with a breath of air and we take a box of products and a handful of jacked up people. In order to [...]
A beautiful little button
Charlotte Brontë once said, “I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.” Independence is beautiful thing, it allows you to do the things you truly believe in. Take our new range for instance, this year we’re back to doing what we believe in, the [...]
Watch a city skyline light up
Steaming City from Simon Christen on Vimeo.
As someone once said, there is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes. Anyone can make clothing for good weather, the real trick is making clothing that keep the idea of bad weather just left of our thoughts. When we make an item of clothing here at Finisterre, we love the idea [...]
Pins on strings

The left coast
Windy Warbles from Cody Caldwell on Vimeo.
Our approach in finding the people to help build Finisterre over the years – has always revolved around – subtle, considered and free-thinking individuals. When we came across Cody’s work, it only took a moment or two, to know what the guy was going to be like and after a very rad conversation with him [...]

Who says you can’t rock fleece
We’ve got quite a history of working with and wearing fleece. It’s funny how certain fabrics can acquire certain stigmas, cashmere (beautiful and soft), fleece (middle aged, synthetic). We’re not big on stigmas, we’re just big on what works and how you rock it. Take Rich for example, he’s a professional in waste management, his [...]
he’s kind of good
We met Tom Wegener a couple years back, we shook hands, he talked us through the boards, his shaping process, the craftsmanship. When we parted ways and said good bye, it kind of felt like we were going through some native american trade ritual, where we both came bearing gifts. Us with one of our [...]
Long-Lasting Socks & Relationships
Back in 2009, we set out to make the most durable and cosy socks, so we thought it a good idea to speak to some people who knew a thing or two about the sock trade. The factory we selected to make our Last-long socks is based in the sock heartland of the UK – [...]
