Last week, the Australian Fashion Council and R.M.Williams launched the National Manufacturing Strategy for Fashion & Textiles 2026–2036, the first of its kind in Australia.

The strategy outlines a 10-year plan focused on three key priorities: activating demand for Australian-made products, securing a skilled workforce, and accelerating advanced manufacturing.

At Silver Fleece, this is deeply aligned with the work we do every day. As a South Australian manufacturer, we see firsthand the importance of investing in local skills, supporting Australian-made production, and continuing to evolve our capabilities. This strategy represents a critical step forward in strengthening the future of our industry.

Before a rugby leaves our mill, the stripes must pass the test.

This striped fabric is put through a water bath before being finished on the stenter. Using controlled heat and tension, the stenter sets colourfastness, stabilises the knit and straightens every stripe to precision.

It is a process you do not see in the final garment, but you feel it in the quality, clarity and longevity.

Made in South Australia.

Proudly Australian Made.

Every Silver Fleece garment is crafted locally at our South Australian facility. We wear the iconic Australian Made logo with pride, one of the most trusted and recognised country-of-origin symbols in the world, representing our commitment to quality, authenticity, and supporting the local industry.
