This is a list; a kind of New Year’s honours list, but not THAT list. This
list has been compiled by David and Clare Hieatt, founders of Hiut denim,
bringing a Welsh town back to life, one pair of jeans at a time.
On this list there are architects, scientists, IT innovators, artists,
writers, sportsmen and women, academics, chefs, writers, musicians,
communicators, charity workers - people you have heard of, people you should
have heard of, people you will definitely hear more of. They are innovators,
entrepreneurs, trailblazers, visionaries, empowerers, influencers,
activists
They will change the way you think, see things, interact, consume,
challenge your beliefs and expectations.
And on that list, in a section simply called Product, you will find
Netherton Foundry.
Hiut Denim Co: 100+ MAKERS AND MAVERICKS — 2017.
Each year we compile a list of the one hundred+ people that got us to utter those words ‘I wish I had done that, made that, invented that, thought like that, changed that’. These are the people who have shone the brightest for us in 2017.
We are thrilled and humbled in equal measure to be on this list. It is a
genuine honour to have been selected and to find ourselves in the company of
greats.
Please read about all these amazing people and then go and find out more
about them and also about Hiut denim.
You have already found us, but take a few minutes to read about who we are
and what we do.
It must have taken a huge amount of effort and self discipline to compile this list, who do you add, who do you leave out?
We are shaken, stirred or otherwise moved by everyone on this list. Some are new to us; some are so far out of our world as to be alien to us; some are familiar; some are part of our everyday lives. What unifies them is, as Hiut say, the phrase that starts, "I wish I...."

I have picked 10 from the list, trying, as best I could to demonstrate the breadth and depth of talent contained therein. It took a long time to settle on these 10 and their selection in no way diminishes anyone else on the list. If my sample intrigues you, read the full list. In fact, read the full list anyway.
