200 years ago American loggers HAD to have jackets that could take a beating in all weathers - their life depended on it. They started building hard-wearing jackets from 'Mackinaw' wool fabric.

Google 'lumber jacket' now though. It's not pretty. Lots of soft, Monty Pythonesque checks ready to tear into shreds within 3 miles of a tree.

We've returned to the true lumber jacket's roots, but upgraded the scratchy 19th century wool for soft yet hardy pure merino wool. Even higher odour resistance and heat regulation, with a tight British herringbone finish, rather than the bold checks of old.

Smart, tough, easy. Little to do except wear & enjoy, all day, everyday.

Legends of British fabric since 1837, Abraham Moon of Yorkshire, provide the beautiful 100% merino wool exterior fabric.
An incredible performance fabric, it is naturally water resistant, with stretch, it is highly odour and stain resistant.

Merino warms you when it's cool and cools you when warm... It's how sheep survive.
And no, unless you're a very sensitive chap, this is not scratchy. Merino is soft and luxurious, yet really tough. Like (washed) sheep.

It's the ultimate low maintenance fabric, barely needs any work at all, except the odd annual dry clean.

The advantage of such a tough, naturally structured fabric, is this jacket stays the same shape. It doesn't crease. It doesn't need ironing.

So if you're busy in business (or feeling a bit lazy), the Merino Woodland will look great wherever you are.

As ever, the detail is everywhere, not just for show. The pure cotton micro-dogtooth flannel lining is also applied to the inner cuffs.

There's engraved real horn buttons from Portugal, triple would & backed, so they don't come off.

A pen or sunglasses pocket on the chest, one of eight pockets, including hand pockets of course.

The cargo pockets have stainless steel snap closures. There's even a tough key carabiner on the inside book/cargo pocket.
