The process to produce a Peter Scott garment is long and painstaking and the garment must pass through many pairs of expert hands before it is allowed to pass into the hands of the customer. Although the knitting of the garment is carried out on machines many of the stages are done by hand and perhaps the most important of these are the meticulous inspections which each and every garment must pass prior to leaving the factory for sale. Any garment found to have even the slightest imperfection that cannot be mended back to a perfect state will be rejected as a second. These inspections coupled with the precision of the garment assembly and of course the all important washing, which is done in the softest Scottish water, add to the quality of the Peter Scott product.

Cost cutting is not an option and although time consuming, every single stage, and there are over 20, is recognised as being vitally important in the production of the ‘perfect’ Peter Scott piece of knitwear.
