Wishing you a Jerry Christmas and a Corbyn New Year

Andrew Will and Jack Francis, along with brothers Mike and Richard Harding have raised more than £5,000 for charity by cashing in on Corbynmania.

The business savvy duo, Andrew and Jack, have created a Christmas jumper featuring the Labour leader.

The money raised from sales of the ‘Jerry Christmas’ jumper will go to Save the Children UK.

They created Notjust.shop, in September and started selling the Corbyn Christmas jumpers online on 6 November.

In just over 24 hours they had sold out of their first 250 jumper run.

Andrew Will said the pair were inspired by what they perceived as a lack of good quality festive clothing.

Mr Will said they “wanted to do something different, while challenging the mass production methods, and support good causes.

“It is all good quality stuff. To produce one of these knits is time-consuming, highly specialised and technically intricate work.

“Using the latest hi-tech knitting machines, it takes 45 minutes to weave the front and back sections, the sleeves are cut by hand, and the collar attached by carefully feeding each jumper into a separate machine – all done by hand, by experts.”

Jeremy Corbyn isn’t the only face to appear on a jumper this year. Andrew and Jack have also produced a Donald Trump version.

The President appears as The Grinch with the slogan “Make Christmas Great Again”.

The unisex jumpers, all designed and produced in the UK, can be brought online for £35 with 50% going to Save The Children UK and the other 50% being reinvested back into the business to grow and fund new charitable projects.
