There’s something about a well-made jacket – the way it fits just right, the weight of quality fabric on your shoulders, the quiet confidence it gives you as you step outside, ready to take on the day. It’s not just clothing; it’s a feeling. Strength, heritage, and timeless style all woven together. 

At Walker and Hawkes, we know that great style isn’t about chasing trends – it’s about pieces that stand the test of time, just like the women who wear them. Whether it’s a tweed blazer that carries you from town to country, a waxed jacket built for braving the elements, or a classic gilet perfect for layering, our clothing is designed to move with you, wherever life takes you. 

This International Women’s Day , we’re celebrating the women who inspire us – the ones who lead, explore, create and carve their own paths. From equestrians to farmers, countryside lovers to city dwellers who appreciate the heritage look, we see you. And just like the clothes we craft, your strength and style are built to last.

Ready for Whatever Life Throws at You

There’s something undeniably empowering about slipping into a piece of high quality countrywear. It’s not just the comfort or the quality craftsmanship – it’s the feeling that you’re ready for whatever life throws at you. Whether you’re walking the dog through dew-covered fields, attending a countryside event, or simply navigating a busy day in town, the right piece of clothing gives you confidence and the freedom to move with purpose. 

At Walker and Hawkes, we believe that countrywear isn’t just for weekend or outdoor adventures – it’s about creating versatile pieces that serve you wherever life takes you. Our jackets, gilets and blazers are designed to blend practicality with sophistication, giving you the perfect balance of form and function. These are clothes that don’t just look good – they work hard, just like the women who wear them.

“Very nice jacket. Beautiful design and very warm, ideal for cold days and countryside. Received on time.” 
Ladies Derby Tweed Shooting Jacket

Take our signature wax jackets, for example. They’re built to withstand the elements, but they’re also incredibly stylish, offering that classic country aesthetic while keeping you warm and dry in even the hardest weather. The waxed cotton repels rain, but it’s the details – the soft cord collars, the timeless cut, the flattering fit – that elevate these jackets to something more than just functional outerwear. They’re a reminder that strength doesn’t have to be bulky and sophistication doesn’t have to be fragile. 

Then there’s our tweed blazers – the ultimate blend of elegance and durability. Made from natural wool, tweed is not only a resilient fabric that stands up to the toughest conditions, but it’s also timelessly stylish. Whether you’re at a country fair or grabbing a coffee in the city, our tweed blazers make a statement, offering the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern sophistication.

Designed with Women in Mind

It’s this attention to detail that defines our philosophy: countrywear that works just as hard as you do, but still looks good while doing it. We design each piece with women in mind, ensuring that comfort, durability, and style are never compromised. Whether you’re layering up for a chilly morning walk or dressing up for an outdoor event, our pieces are designed to move with you, providing the freedom to feel confident, no matter where the day takes you. 

Ultimately, the power of countrywear lies in its ability to make women feel both strong and stylish. It’s the confidence that comes with knowing you’re prepared – prepared for adventure, prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead, and prepared to look good while doing it. Walker and Hawkes designs clothing that doesn’t just complement your lifestyle; it enhances it, offering a timeless style that reflects your strength, independence, and determination.

“What a fabulous company, delivery was speedy. The coat is beautiful, lightweight, comfortable and very warm. Have worn in the heavy rain and kept completely dry! I love the colour, the price is excellent. Worn daily with pride to walk my spaniel.”

When you wear Walker and Hawkes, you’re not just wearing clothes – you’re wearing confidence. And that’s the power of countrywear. 

Clothing that Empowers You

When it comes to countrywear, the right pieces do more than just serve a purpose – they empower you. Whether you’re taking on the outdoors, enjoying a day at an event, or simply going about your everyday life, your clothing should give you the confidence to move freely and stylishly. That’s where Walker and Hawkes come in. 

Then there’s out merino wool knitwear, offering the ideal combination of softness and durability. It’s a fabric that feels luxurious against your skin while also standing the test of time. A merino sweater has the ability to keep you warm without feeling bulky, allowing you to layer and move with ease. 

And of course, we can’t forget our hats. A well-made hat isn’t about shielding yourself from the elements – it’s about adding that final touch of style. Whether it’s a classic flat cap or a modern fedora, these pieces complete your look with understated British heritage. 

“Beautiful hat – fantastic quality and more importantly the first hat EVER that has suited me – I would wear it in bed if I could because I have always loved hats but they looked awful on me – no longer – thank you Walker and Hawkes will be back for the other colours!”

So take a moment, explore our collection, and find the styles that speak to you. Because when you wear Walker and Hawkes, you’re not just dressing for the day – you’re dressing for the life you want to lead, and that’s power worth celebrating.

When it comes to country clothing, some things are simply made for each other. Picture this: the crisp air of the countryside, your favourite walking boots crunching over gravel, and an outfit that doesn’t just keep you warm but look effortlessly stylish too. A tweed jacket paired with matching trousers. A waistcoat layered underneath for extra charm. A classic hat that pulls the whole look together. It’s a match made in heaven – or rather, a match made at Walker and Hawkes.

As the new year unfolds, it’s time to set your sights on the adventures that lie ahead. Whether you’re planning to explore the rugged countryside, enjoy a quiet walk in the woods, or engage in your favourite outdoor activities, the right gear can make all the difference. 

Investing in high-quality outdoor wear is more than just a fashion choice; it’s about embracing comfort, durability, and performance in every season. When you choose premium gear, you’re not just preparing for the cold months of winter but setting yourself up for success in any outdoor challenge that comes your way. 

Let’s explore why now is the perfect time to invest in gear that will last – gear that can take you through every season and with confidence.

Why Gear Up for New Adventures?

The start of a new year brings the promise of fresh experiences, and many of us are planning outdoor activities that bring us closer to nature. But before you can embark on these adventures, you need the right tools. Outdoor gear isn’t just about protection from the elements; it’s about ensuring that every outing is enjoyable and comfortable. 

Investing in the right gear means staying warm during winter hikes, dry on rainy days and well-equipped for unpredictable weather conditions.

High-quality clothing, such as waxed jackets, warm hats, and breathable layers, provide the comfort and performance needed for any outdoor journey, whether it’s crisp winter mornings or a wet early spring afternoon.

The Long-Term Value of High-Quality Gear

While it might seem tempting to purchase inexpensive items at the beginning of the year, choosing low-quality items can actually cost you more in the long run. The durability of high-quality outdoor wear is unmatched. 

Walker and Hawkes offers gear that is designed to last season after season, eliminating the need for frequent replacements. Investing in durable, well-made products means that your gear will stand the test of time, protecting you from the elements and keeping you comfortable year after year. 

Moreover, investing in premium outdoor wear contributes to sustainability. Choosing long-lasting, high-quality gear helps rescue waste, as it doesn’t need to be replaced regularly. Plus, the materials used in these products are often more environmentally conscious, helping you enjoy nature while protecting it.

Versatility for Every Season

One of the best things about premium outdoor wear is its versatility. Many pieces from Walker and Hawkes are designed to carry you through multiple seasons. A waxed jacket, for instance, is perfect for winter, but with the right layering, it’s equally ideal for early spring walks. Investing in gear that’s adaptable to changing weather ensures you’re always ready, no matter the forecast. 

As the seasons shift, so do your outdoor activities. Investing in gear that can transition from cold to warm weather, from snowy days to rainy afternoons, makes sure you’re prepared for everything the year brings. A quality jacket, for example, can be worn in winter with a sweater underneath and then layered over a t-shirt in spring for lighter outings.

Style Meets Functionality

Outdoor wear isn’t just about practicality; it’s also about looking good while you’re out there. Walker and Hawkes prides itself on creating gear that combines style with function. Whether you’re going on a hike, out for a countryside stroll, or meeting friends for an outdoor event, you’ll feel confident and stylish in high-quality clothing that’s designed to last. 

From tweed jackets to waxed cotton coats, these pieces are built to offer not only comfort but also a timeless look. No longer do you need to choose between looking good and staying comfortable – you can have both.

The Walker and Hawkes Collection: Ready for 2025

At Walker and Hawkes, we understand that your gear is more than just clothing; it’s an investment in your outdoor experiences. Our collection offers everything you need for your adventures in 2025, from rugged jackets and coats to warm accessories like scarves and gloves.

With the right gear, you can embrace every adventure with confidence. The new year is the perfect time to upgrade your outdoor wardrobe, ensuring that every experience – whether it’s a weekend hike or a spontaneous walk – becomes an opportunity to enjoy nature at its fullest. Walker and Hawkes gear isn’t just about the next adventure- it’s about setting yourself up for a year of memories, exploration, and growth.
