It is mainly the large Indian brands like SS and SG I believe. Cant imagine any softs are produced in England.

He's prob correct as these we moulded, SS etc are a soft good manufacturer but knock out their own softs too but I wouldn't think it forms a large % of their overall income as this would come from making for other brands

If you think about it then it is a daft question to ask someone, where they get their kit made is private and a trade secret hopefully, knowing for knowing is fine but you don't need to know....
