Lyncolne Grene was the colour of choice for Robin and his merry band, around 900 years ago. This  was produced in medieval Lincoln, the exact shade of which lies somewhere in the annals of history. The inspiration for my Lyncolne Grene is a historical garment displayed at Nottingham Castle.

Greendale is a majestic olive hue with subtle tonal variations. The inspiration for this colourway is the ancient Greendale oak, which was of such stature that in 1724 an opening was created that allowed a "carriage or three horsemen abreast" to pass through.
