Jacob Long has made a bold investment in an American textile mill in Connecticut, risking his family, livelihood, and personal beliefs in American craftsmanship to revive the historic industry, despite challenges and uncertainties.
Kate Middleton visited a textile mill in Leeds that was once owned by her family. The mill, AW Hainsworth, has a special connection to the royal as her ancestors owned it before selling it in 1958. During her visit, Kate received a tour of the mill and learned about her family's connection to the business. She wore an elegant forest green Burberry trouser suit for the outing and opted for sustainable gold jewelry. Kate also showed interest in the manufacturing process and innovation in the textiles industry. This visit comes after she was seen watching her son Prince George play football in a casual outfit.
