U.K. Made

[stevenedwards]

I am in the market for a new coat and am in a "Buy British" frame of mind. Can anyone suggest or recommend a domestic maker of shooting coats and possibly trousers.
Many thanks. Steven

You could have a tweed shooting suit made. Best fibre on the planet!

Been thinking about some plus fours, will consider.

Redkettle - I really like the look of this company - Hunting clothing and gear | minimalist and modular - they used to do trousers but just looks like jackets at the moment

What about DuckDri ? Curious.

Just looking at redkettle and it looked very familiar in style to one here in DK called Northern Hunting. Turns out Redkettle are also Danish but not related to Northern Hunting.

Bison Bushcraft make some nice kit from natural materials if that's the sort of thing you're after?

Some Barbour stuff is still made in the UK. But most now comes from Turkey, Portugal and Bulgaria. Check the labels.

It's interesting (or disheartening really) how much is made in other countries now. Watching Dragon's Den recently, it became apparent that outsourcing manufacturing to other countries (The Orient features a lot) is an accepted way to keep costs down and you would attract criticism if you don't do that.

+1 for Duck Dri (Country Traditions). Everything made on site in Ibstock, Leicestershire. Made to measure at no extra cost if you can get to them. Mention me (Tom) to Jane - she will see you right!.

I would agree but substitute "nice" for "interesting" and mindful their sizing & cut owes more to Stoneage Man than 21st Century!

They do however now offer their Bushcraft uniform "Guide Shirt" with a hood, for which you may thank me!

Country innovations looks good but no reference I can see of made in UK
Searching for Duck Dri and Bison now

 

[stevenedwards]

Thanks for all the suggestions. There is more to choose from than I feared first off Im going to look at Bison Bushcraft, something with a hood.

Following recommendation by a pro stalker up in Scotland, I bought a smock and a pair of trousers from Riverside Outdoors at the Northern show ...... impressed so far.

They show various makes but if you dig down you’ll find their own brand...

eg Waterproof Birkdale Shooting Jacket Stalking Stealth Coat Windproof RRP 159 New

Arktis, mainly military and police themed but you can choose to have it in plain green

Or if synthetic is your thing then Buffalo (pile and pertex) tops are still made in Yorkshire. My mountain shirt has kept me warm in some nasty conditions over the (many) years I've had it. Sometimes too warm though.
