Fact:
Huddersfield textile company, Bower Roebuck, wove the cloth for David Beckham’s Royal Wedding suit.

New Mill-based textile firm Bower Roebuck & Co supplied two lengths of its super-fine cloth to fashion label Polo Ralph Lauren, to be made up into a morning suit for the soccer star.

The firm, which has a long tradition of providing cloth for the rich and famous, was asked by Polo Ralph Lauren about six weeks before the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton to provide the suit lengths.
