Lightweight and breathable


Lightweight, breathable and comfy, these rugged wellington boots from The
Original Muck Boot company are absolutely perfect for our
unpredictable summer weather. They will keep your feet
perfectly dry on rainy days, but won’t make you overheat if the
sun decides to show its face. The boots feature a rubber
overlay, quick-cleaning sole with great traction, reinforced heels
and toes, great arch support, and a breathable mesh lining. The
super-comfy, stretchy neoprene top and 5mm lining make them
a cushiony dream for your feet, and also help provide the perfect
fit for wider calves. Perfect for all outdoor activities and the ideal
spring/summer option for dryness, comfort and breathability.
Available in men’s, women’s and adjustable-calf models.

RRP: Classic Tall boots, £105;
Adjustable Tall boots, £120

Maude & Fox is fast becoming one of our favourite clothing
brands – the British brand combines classic materials and
great functionality with stylish modern design for a truly
unique range of country clothing. New from Maude & Fox
is the Lady Gamkeeper, a smock-style jacket made with
Teflon-impregnated tweed from Scotland for maximum
weather protection. The garment is lined with a cosy
green fleece and features a hidden fleece-lined hand-
warming pouch, suede detail on the shoulders and cuffs,
a low-styled back for a flattering profile, and tailored
panels to give the front a flattering shape. The tweed
also has a subtle lilac and orange overcheck for
a feminine touch.
The popular Brace shooting jacket is
also being reintroduced for 2019. This
again is made from Teflon-impregnated
100% British tweed for extra water
resistance, and offers a rather cool twist
to the classic shoot day jacket – perfect
for those looking to incorporate a subtle,
modern vibe into their traditional shoot day
attire. Unusual technical detailing includes a
vented bellow pocket with the underside pocket flap
made in a quirky patriot tweed with magnetic fastening
for easy access, a zipped inside breast pocket for a
phone and special fleece-lined handwarmer pockets
just below the chest.
Cut low at the back and high up the neck to keep
out draughts. Would look just as good on a trip to
the pub as it would in the shooting field.

RRPs: Brace shooting jacket (unisex), £495;
Lady Gamekeeper, £330
