Waxed jackets have been handmade in a north east factory for over 100 years. We meet the workers keeping these traditional skills alive and bringing old jackets back to life.

In a factory off the north east coast, a team of high-skilled workers handmake 650 waxed jackets a day. It鈥檚 been in the hands of one family for over 100 years and is run today by Dame Margaret Barbour.
