MOOT & OUR VALUES
THE MAN BEHIND MOOT
'I am Jules Parker, the man behind Moot. A metalworker with a successful vintage car conservation business, I am the father of three sons who are all homeschooled by my fantastic wife and best friend, Clare.
Always drawn to the beautifully anarchic side of life, I was a fan of the punk movement in my formative years and have a lingering tendency to want to test some of what we are supposed to blindly accept as the way we have to live our lives.
Part of creating Moot and designing the pieces in the collection was to satisfy that passion for challenging the status quo. Part of it was to address the missing garments that I was looking for myself - a lover of fabulous underwear, lace, luxurious fabrics and style, I wanted to find fantastic pieces that would fit my body and celebrate the male form in its true honesty.
I am really proud to have launched Moot, a brand of beautifully made, liberating and empowering underwear for all men who want to have that considered choice available in their life too.'

THE MOOT TEAM.
We are a small but perfectly formed team based in Forest Row, UK. Working to find our way through advertising censorship, to bring this exciting brand to you! From marketing, photography, sample designs & socials, we do it all in house, with everyone paid a UK living wage and encouraged to each bring our unique skills to the table.
Our humble goal is that Moot is able to offer a new, option to people, celebrate the male form, and make the wearer feel empowered and sexy in their choice.
OUR PRODUCTION VALUES.
Moot underwear is handmade in England. We are proud of our high production values and UK living wage status. Moot exists to empower people, not to exploit.
We use a small team of seamstresses in Yorkshire to sew our Moot products. These makers are paid a living UK wage, and we collaborate with UK independent makers and crafts people wherever possible. It is important to us that traditional skills are supported and rewarded. We have a higher production cost, in the knowledge that we are supporting another small business, paying a living UK wage to people who are skilled workers. We work hard to select the perfect fabrics for each garment, from French heritage lace, to gorgeous sustainable dead-stock mesh and the perfect stretch power net with just the right amount of sheerness. Where possible this is selected from UK suppliers, using stock that would have been otherwise wasted, or from high quality traceable suppliers.
INCLUSIVITY Moot is FOR EACH and every body who feels that Moot is for them. We stand in solidarity with humans, regardless of gender labels or sexuality. Moot will not discriminate on the grounds of anyone's sexual or gender identity, everyone is equal and everyone is warmly welcomed to Moot.
