Kestin Hare, who'd previously worked with Nigel Cabourn, Margaret Howell and Burberry, started his eponymous label in his hometown of Edinburgh in 2014. The designs draw on Scottish heritage alongside vintage, workwear, military and outdoor references, produced in small runs with a stated preference for UK manufacturing wherever it's possible. The brand runs a flagship store in Stockbridge and keeps its design studio and headquarters in Leith, both in Edinburgh.
