What is it?
Finnieston Clothing is more than just a menswear label, it’s a love letter to Glasgow’s industrial past, stitched into every seam. The brand takes inspiration from the shipbuilders and engineers who shaped the city, reimagining traditional workwear with a refined, contemporary edge. From rugged outerwear to versatile everyday pieces, each item is built to last, both in style and construction.
This isn’t fast fashion. It’s purposeful design rooted in heritage, with a focus on quality, function, and timeless appeal. And while the look is effortlessly cool, every detail serves a purpose, because when you’re dressing for Glasgow weather, substance matters as much as style.
Where is it?
You’ll find Finnieston Clothing on Byres Road, right in the beating heart of Glasgow’s West End. It’s a neighbourhood that wears its creativity well, a jumble of indie cafés, leafy lanes, and second-hand bookshops with stories in their walls. The shop fits right in, blending form and function with quiet confidence.
Just a short subway ride from Native Glasgow, it’s the perfect detour for those seeking something more local, more lasting, and more meaningful than your average high street stop.
What you’ll find
Step inside and the ethos of the brand comes to life. The store itself feels curated but welcoming, with stripped-back interiors that let the clothes speak for themselves. Think heavyweight overshirts, wool-blend jackets, and chore coats you’ll wear for years, all cut with precision and made with intent.
What sets Finnieston apart is their commitment to small-batch production and ethical sourcing. Collections are made in Scotland and Portugal using premium fabrics, and the design nods to Glasgow’s shipbuilding era without slipping into nostalgia. It’s a brand that looks back to move forward, honouring the past while dressing for the now.
You’ll also find accessories and lifestyle pieces designed for people who move, whether that’s across the city or across continents. Bags, caps, and mid-layers built for weather, movement, and travel, without sacrificing on style.
One-liner
Grit, graft and good design, made to last, built for now.
Our top buy
