THE PERFORMANCE FABRIC

• High quality tweed, milled by Lovat Mill in Hawick, Scotland, sent to finishers and washed in waters from the Tweed, then coated in a fine layer of Teflon coating for further water repellency
• Fabric then sent to Northamptonshire, England, to our master coatmakers, with over 40 years’ experience. Marked, cut, sewn by hand
• Rigorous quality control inspection by people not machines

This tweed shooting waistcoat features tonal alcantara patches and cartridge pocket entry piping as these are high wear areas. With an adjustable half belt at the rear it gives the ability to tailor the size and fit to suit your needs. It features large cartridge pockets, capable of comfortably holding 50 cartridges in each pocket for a busy drive, and also one internal zippered pocket. All three tweed options are produced for us by Lovat Mill in Hawick, Scottish Borders and finished with a Teflon coating for further water repellency

Burgundy Club Check is new for AW22. Its 100% wool with a worsted and lambswool high twist construction. Weighing in at 430g per running metre is a fantastic hard wearing but light and wearable tweed. The pattern is a traditional shepherd check design that has been recoloured with Ochre and Bronze grounds and a rich rust overcheck

Green Herringbone is our plain green tweed that has been a staple in our collection for the past few years. 100% Cheviot wool tweed, 500g per running metre. It’s a very understated, minimalist but luxurious tweed on a medium set herringbone. With bronze, dark olive and rust red grounds, it’s a very versatile tweed that works in so many different settings.

Saxony Claret Check is a continuity tweed for this season. It’s 100% Saxony Lambswool twist with a hard pressed finish give it a very robust feel. It weighs 600g per running metre so is a little heavier than our other tweeds, adding to the robust and ‘bombproof’ feel. Ground colour of bronze, golden and olive with a navy, purple and rust windowpane give it a very understated look

• The vest is trimmed with Alcantara on the shoulder patches and around the cartridge pockets.
• The Tweed is a high twist, compact fabric which will naturally repel moisture whilst being extremely hard wearing.
• We have taken our newly–developed covert cloth, and developed it into our classic Moorland Vest.
• Please note the measurements are ‘Chest measurement is armpit to armpit and the Back Length from neck seam to base’ These are all made to within half an inch of tolerance.
