Our Origins

We are the Hawser Thread Co.

A small company making gritty nautical clothing & accessories.

Pronounced “HAW-zer” we chose this name because of its strong ties to the shipping and harbour industries. A Hawser is the name of a thick rope or cable used to help tow boats and moor ships in the harbour. It actually comes from the French word “haussier” meaning to lift or haul!

Our logo is a “Figure Eight” knot, this is one of the most used knots in sailing & it represents strength in simplicity.
