]]>The Duchess of Cambridge has been spotted wearing the practical ladies country jacket a handful of times over the last year, including her recent visit to Pant Farm as she marked St David's Day in Abergavenny, Wales with the Duke of Cambridge.
Kate was first spotted wearing the modern ladies shooting jacket in April 2021 during a visit to a family run farm and a local youth project up in the North East. A very appropriate choice for helping with livestock and driving tractors at the farm!

]]>Did you know Grouse can reach speeds of up to 80MPH after only a few beats of their wings and they are able to change direction so quickly that it takes a shooter with an experienced skill set to be able to perform well in the field.
The beginning of the Grouse shooting season often correlates with the warmest days of the year, and just like any day on the peg it is vital that you are kitted out in nothing but the best Grouse shooting clothing so that you can keep your undivided attention on the sport.
We advise the following for grouse shooting:
We have been lucky enough to test the Harkila Heat Jacket and we think it’s great and definitely recommend it! We loved the innovative HEAT technology that has been designed by Harkila! It uses a thin heating membrane to warm your body safely and effectively for maximum comfort and performance. This membrane is powered by a powerbank in the pocket (powerbank is not included). The heating membrane can be easily folded up and packed away without harm, a clear improvement over products that use copper wires and carbon fibre, which are often stiff and fragile. The jacket is controlled by your smartphone or the button on the upper centre of the jacket, this button has 3 temperatures for manual setting.
The smartphone connection is very fast at responding! For more information on how to use the HEAT range, click here.
The lining of the jacket retains and distributes heat evenly around the jacket keeping your temperature at your own desired amount. The Härkila Heat jacket has a soft micro fleece inside collar and thermo poly shield padding as well as stretch comfort panels making it soft and comfortable.
A 10000mAh powerpack provides the wearer with up to 7 hours warmth on a single charge. This technology allows you to use any powerpack and swap them when you’re out in the harsh environments, to provide you with all day warmth. Now available: Harkila HEAT Power Bank.
These lightweight waistcoats and jacket come with Thermo PolyShield insulation, an insulation created from super soft, fine polyester fibres that are comfortable and lightweight as well as quick drying. The completely waterproof power connector allows that jacket to be washed as normal, providing the powerpack has been disconnected.
Stay in control of your own body temperature using the Harkila HEAT app on your smartphone or use the three temperature manual control button attatched to your garment. The HEAT Control app allows you to control the temperature of your product to the precise degree by rotating the intuitive dial in the app. It offers maximum control and the ability to choose the exact temperature to suit your level of activity.

]]>The most important item on our list is a top quality jacket, a sound investment because if you get it right first time you are potentially saving hundreds of pounds and gaining an invaluable piece of kit that will not only serve as your shooting / hunting jacket but can be worn around town, walking the dog or whenever the weather turns against you. Whether you prefer traditional or modern is just a matter of taste these days as our range of shooting jackets are both, modern tweed fabrics are lightweight, waterproof and incorporate membranes to make them 100% waterproof. Key features to look for are cartridge pockets with hold open straps, storm cuffs, action back tailoring so you can swing your arms when shooting. Our top pick for the season The Laksen Ainsley Wingfield Coat stylish, lightweight, packed with all the key features and smart enough to wear around the town. We love the hounds tooth tweed which can be worn with the rest of Ainsley range and trust us these jacket are waterproof! field tested to the extreme.
Who doesn’t like to dress up every now and again? Shooting breeks may look strange to the uninitiated but nothing completes the country look better than good pair of breeks. Tradition and style aside they form an important function of practicality, anyone who has walked through long wet grass, muddy fields, thick brush will understand that a pair of loose fitting trousers will drag in the mud and the water will slowly creep up the legs. Breeks on the other hand allow you to wear a long sock that is much more comfortable slipping into wellies or long boots and wearing gaiters, the end result your calves remain clean, comfortable and elegantly styled.
Breeks will always form part of the formal dress required when out in the feild both for men and women and with modern tweed and technology our pick is again a pair of breeks from Laksen. Laksen has lined their breeks with a membrane to make them waterproof, perfect! Why not team your jacket with the Ainsley breeks?
Now that you have the body and top of the legs covered what about the lower legs? Shooting socks are a statement piece and you can demonstrate your personality and style with a good pair from House of Cheviot woven in the Scottish borders using traditional methods. These socks are guaranteed to last with lots of styles to choose from and don’t forget the garter ties which are gain traditional style pieces but also keep your socks from falling down. We like to match the colour of our socks to our tie or cravat.
This one comes down to personal preference and of course the weather! If the ground is boggy and waterlogged wear some wellies but for the most part we prefer a good pair of boots, they support your ankle better, are more comfortable for a days walking and keep your feet warm or cool with better breathabilty than a pair of rubber boots. We have many styles to choose from but they key things to look for are a waterproof membrane, solid foot bed and a grippy sole. We cant find fault with the Harkila Pro Hunter GTX 12″ boots as we have previously mentioned in a previous post, one of our customers has worn them for six seasons and never washed them!
Something often overlooked but something I never leave the house without when going shooting. A quality pair of leather shooting gloves can really improve your day if its cold and windy! who wants to stand on a peg in the biting cold holding your gun waiting for the birds to fly? then when they do you can’t pull the trigger and reload fast enough because your fingers are frozen stiff! We love the Laksen London Leather gloves one our best sellers as they are comfortable and form fitting and very tight which is important in a good shooting glove.
Maybe its too warm for a jacket so a shooting waistcoat is enough (not in this list as we will post that in another thread) but its still a little chilly, the most popular trend now seen on shoots up and down the country is a shooting waistcoat worn over a jumper. It allows you to stay warm but doesn’t restrict any movement as wearing a jacket might and you just feel lighter! The difference between a windproof knit jumper and one that isn’t is a very clever membrane that blocks the cold wind from blowing through the knitted fabric but is also breathable. Trust us when we say you can feel the difference on a cold breezy day and a windproof jumper is better than wearing a jacket. Our favourite is the Laksen Windsor Windbreaker worn underneath your waistcoat, the extra layer and elbow patches also add more protection from the recoil on those busy days!

Note – everyone’s foot, and body make up ifs different; the breaking in periods will vary for every individual. Some have taken the boots straight out of the box and headed for the hills with no problems. We would recommend that you take the time to do it properly and accustom your feet to the new boots and they will be superb.
The right kind of care can significantly lengthen the lifespan of your boots. Leather is a natural breathable raw material which needs to be cared for. Real leather is like a second skin. In order to maintain leather’s exceptional qualities, proper care is vital. The boots should be allowed to air properly and dry out after each and every use. It is good to remove the in-soles and laces to open them up fully and allow them to dry. To aid to the drying process, we recommend you stuff some newspaper into them. The newspaper will absorb moisture and also helps keep the shape. The newspaper should then be changed daily until the boots have dried out. The inner-sole absorbs a lot of moisture, which will dissipate and dry much quicker outside of the boot. This is important to remember on multi-day trips. In an ideal world, leather boots should be dried out for 24 hours before they are worn again.
Once the inner-soles and laces have been removed, the dirt must be removed from the leather. For normal levels of dirt, brushing it off under lukewarm running water will suffice. Brush the boots thoroughly so that the leather can breathe again and its properties are revived. The leather may now be in an unprotected state.
Cleaned, untreated boots are “open-pored” and will tend towards soaking up water.
In order to “close” the leather again, a product such as Duckswax Water Repelling Leather Tonic should be applied, allow good penetration by applying more than 1 layer of grease. Impregnating the leather prevents water absorption. Duckswax Water Repelling Leather Tonic will aid in the prevention of water absorption, prolong the life of your boots and also prevent pore clogging, allowing the leather to retain 90% of its natural breathability.
The best place to store leather boots is in a shoe bag or box, in a dry, well-aired place. A boot tree will help keep their shape. Never store wet boots in damp rooms or in the car. They will become mouldy! Boot trees will help them keep their shape and prevent any creases in the leather.
