When Billie Eilish came up on the 67th prize stage wearing a jockey hat with the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team badge, few noticed the very small logo on the side with two tiny British flags and the word “Moon”. But in a small town in West Yorkshire, the “Moon” firm is synonymous with a rich 188-year-old history, as it is one of the last textile factories in the United Kingdom. The choice Billy ‘Eiles made at Grammy Awards brought back to the fore and the company. CORVERSE Factory director Joe McCann prefers to say that his company “is one of the few and elites” with the aim of giving a less negative picture of the industry that is erasing. However the company prospers, as it collaborates with some of the top brands worldwide, such as “Ralph Lauren” and “New Era”, a product of collaboration with which is the singer’s jockey. He noted that employees gladly discovered early Monday morning that their company had “traveled” around the world during the unique performance of the song “Birds of a Feather” by ‘Elis. ADVERSION “We had no relevant information, but of course we noticed immediately and said: “It is incredible” MacKen told the Guardian. “We do everything from beginning to end here. From the production of the thread to the weaving and final process, which is unique” he continued. FOOT RES FOOT RES Unlike other factories “Moon” has chosen to maintain its entire production in Yorkshire, using wool from the United Kingdom, New Zealand and South Africa. The machines are high-tech, but the procedures are similar to those followed 188 years ago by businessman Abraham Moon. “Like ‘Eiles’ jockey every piece of it has been built here,” he said, stressing that “tweed is one of the best sports clothing fabrics”. “A hat like that of the famous performer will exist for many years and still be fantastic. It is the perfect product for modern times” he concluded.
