We stock not only the traditional lots o’ pockets version, but for the more fashion-focused ladies we also stock the sleek fitting versions.Gents Waistcoats
Ah, the perfect waistcoat, that familiar friend. A bit like (well, ok, not too much like) a well-trained dog who loves to wait in a blind more than anything else in his world, sitting in the blind with him is more fun than the rest of the shoot and the shooting party! Wearing one of these comfortable, practical and ruggedly handsome garments is terrific when you’re in the great outdoors, but sometimes they’re nice to put on just to walk to the pub... with the dog. We stock both the men’s tweed waistcoats and the men’s wax gilet; we recommend one of each.Children’s and Babies Waistcoats / Gilets / Vests

Don’t forget the matching hat.Jackets and Coats
Wax Jackets and Coats
Waxed coats for women, gents and children, our selection of waxed jackets and waxed coats is understandably extensive. This is the style that is a favourite in the British countryside, and rightly so. A perfect example of practical material meets practical design and looks jolly good at the same time.Belted Wax Jackets
All the wearability of waxed cotton, but with the added warmth of a belt. A bit like tucking your feet under the quilt to keep them warm, belting your jacket increases warmth by trapping warm air in between you and the waxed cotton. It’s also a very flattering style, win-win.Tucking a scarf around your neck and under your collar also increases your warmth, as does wearing a hat and gloves. A well-filled hip flask can work wonders too.
Stockman Long Wax Jacket / Coat
This one isn’t just for outdoorsmen living in the outback anymore, the practical design of this coat has won it legions of fans.Designed longer than usual, this coat is the perfect rainy weather coat, keeping more of you dry. You won’t get an accumulation of water trying to get in through the seams with this coat, the water just effortlessly runs off of the shoulder epaulettes and the back panel, leaving the material closest to you well protected.
A favourite amongst sporty types and stewards at rainy country shows, pair this with a wide-brimmed hat and a pair of waterproof boots, and you’ll be laughing all the way to the beer tent. It’s longer length makes for a great impromptu picnic blanket on dry days as well!
Traditional Wax Jacket / Coat
London, Manhattan, Paris, Sydney, it doesn’t matter where you go in the world, you’re going to see this jacket.
Dressed for work or pleasure, casual or smart, these styles of waxed cotton coats are as important as denim jeans are to your wardrobe (or corduroy trousers if you’re my Uncle James, honestly, we can hear him coming with that swish, swish).
An easy coat to maintain, did you know that after you’ve shared a few adventures together, you can re-wax your jacket to make it as good as new.
Walker and Hawkes’ jackets are exceptionally hard wearing making this a very worthwhile investment.
Children’s Wax Jacket / Coat
Kids and puddles go together like beans on toast. We all appreciate the attitude of children when they want to play out, and the weather is dreary, they simply don’t care.
So wrap those little adventurers up in a waxed jacket, a cap and a pair of wellies, put the kettle on and be ready with the hot chocolate when they come in.

Blazers
Who doesn’t love a man in a blazer, a well-cut blazer? One that flatters at the waist, accentuates the shoulders and skims the hips. You could be that man in the blazer.
Hats and Flat Caps
We stock a good selection of flat caps. This is such a versatile style that it is popular in lots of different fabrics.
Flat Caps
- Tweed - a tweed flat cap is about as traditional a country look as you can find, it has a timeless style to it and an ageless quality. Despite advances in fabric technology tweed is still the countryman’s favourite material, breathable, flexible and stylish.
- Waxed - A waxed flat cap that is perfect for a rainy day. Tough enough for yard work, waterproof enough to take you on a shoot when the sky opens
- Moleskin - Not real moleskin, have you ever felt a mole and felt how soft their fur is? These hats are soft, but they won’t go digging holes in your garden. Smart enough for town, practical and tough enough for the country.
- Corduroy - What’s not to love about corduroy? Warm, soft, flexible, a great flat cap for any occasion
Baker Boy Cap
Baker boy caps are jaunty, stylish little numbers that just seem to have a little spark all of their very own. A really popular style.
Wide Brim Hats
- Thelma, a ladies waxed hat with the most perfectly tied bow you have ever seen on a hat, it doesn’t sound conventional, but some of the best pairings don’t. This is the waxed hat that you wear when you know your fashion credentials will be tested when you want to impress someone with your quirky style sense or simply when you know a good hat when you see one.
- Outback Aussie, a unisex waxed hat with a wide brim. Extra reinforcement stitching makes this a robust head covering. The feather trim is a nice touch for the countryman or woman. And goes nicely with the long stockman Coat!
- Windsor, another ladies waxed wide-brimmed hat. Just to ring in the changes, this one has a fabric rose attached to the hatband. A lovely style with understated detailing, and we know it’s all in the details. Wander the countryside or the high street in country style with the ladies wax cotton hat.
Baseball Caps
Baseball caps available in either tweed or waxed cotton. Maybe you’d prefer a baseball hat with a leather peak? Choose your style and be confident that this is a nice looking cap, the peak isn’t too flat or too big, just a nice, classic, good looking hat, well cut and well made. Buy one for yourself and get the kids one while you’re at it.
Trousers
Shooting Breeks / Plus Fours
- Tweed - A traditional choice, who doesn’t wear plus fours for shooting? Very smart design, hard wearing but soft fabric and great colours. Choose your socks at the same time.
- Moleskin - Another traditional choice. Classic, elegant design in hard wearing moleskin.
- Children's - let the little one join in the calling to the great outdoors. They’ll feel more a part of things when they dress the part, and we’re not talking dress up here, we’re talking about initiation to age-old customs and traditions. These are meant to be worn in the field, in the Land Rover, in the kitchen afterwards. Build memories. Don’t forget to take photos.
Classic Moleskin Trousers
A very versatile, well-cut style, hard wearing, attractive, the Hugh Grant of the trouser world, definitely one of our favourites. Available in navy, beige or olive.
Waterproof Trousers, Treggings and Chaps

- “Nice thick tweed ideal for the winter weather.”
- “The breeches are a perfect fit.”
- “It has been a pleasure to buy an item made in the UK! I am delighted with my purchase; it is very well made, good strong stitching, lined, and a very strong zip. As for fitting, well I like things to fit loosely so although I am a 44 chest, I ordered the next size up and it is extremely comfortable. Excellent purchase!”

The Best Waxed Cotton Jacket for Men
Winter is coming! Not to worry, your trusty waxed cotton jacket has your back...literally. You will be so excited for the cold months to come so you can bundle in this cosy padded jacket and get super warm and comfortable.One of the best features of this jacket is that while warm, is lightweight. Finally, a jacket you can pack away for your travels! Go with a black or brown colour; it will match with everything and be less likely to get dirty and stained.
The best-waxed cotton jacket (which we totally sell here!) is 100% waterproof, has many deep pockets - so you can leave your bag at home - and made of the greatest quality, to last for years and years. The inside is lined with cotton to keep you snug and the outside of wax, easy to wipe down or to apply a new coat of wax.
The Right Jacket For The Occasion
When considering a jacket, think about where you will wear your garment. Just as you would purchase a saddle for ridding, you would get a jacket appropriate for the occasion to avoid any issues. It is key to find the right outfit for outdoor sports to do your best.Choose the wrong outfit and your day could be ruined!
In the English countryside, we all know far too well how the rain will unexpectedly pour down. Well, we can be stuck in an onslaught of rain, or we can defend ourselves with the right jacket. A long wax jacket will keep you safe from the rain - with its additional length; extra protection is provided.
Colour makes all of the difference especially for an item meant for the outdoors. Navy, green or grey are great colours to avoid stains and match with other colours but more exciting than your typical brown or black colour. Have fun and look fun! That’s what life all about right?
