The best lightweight country jackets for spring / summer 2025

There’s a particular kind of morning that only the British countryside knows – the kind where the mist lingers in the hedgerows just long enough to leave the fields kissed with silver, before melting away under the first golden rays of sun. 

You step outside, coffee in hand, and it’s neither warm nor cold, just that in-between sort of weather that keeps you guessing. A breeze whispers through the trees, cool enough to remind you that summer isn’t quite here yet, but mild enough that a heavy coat would be overdoing it. 

This is the season of the lightweight country jacket – the faithful companion for the early dog walks, pub garden afternoons, and those impromptu jaunts across dewy meadows. 

But not all jackets are made equal. Some are too stiff, some too flimsy, and some never quite strike the balance between looking smart and feeling practical. 

So, if you’re after the perfect piece to see you through spring into summer, look no further. We’ve rounded up the best lightweight country jackets for 2025 – designed for comfort, style and that ever-unpredictable British weather. 

Men’s Wax Grafton Motorcycle Jacket

Made for both style and practicality, this lightweight country jacket features a 100% cotton checked tartan lining, offering breathability and classic country charm. The outershell, made from 100% waxed cotton, ensures full waterproof protection – perfect for unpredictable British weather.

“The jacket is beautiful. Exactly as advertised. I followed the sizing chart and so, the sizing is perfect.”
Jose, online.

Designed with functionality in mind, it boasts four front pockets with stud fastenings, a heavy-duty zip with a studded flap enclosure, and a colour corduroy collar for timeless appeal. Additional details like the inside pocket, storm flap, and adjustable belt strap provide both convenience and a tailored fit. Produced to the highest standards in country and derby wear, this jacket is as durable as it is stylish.

Ladies Tartan Wax Delamere Jacket

Chic, functional, and effortlessly stylish, the Delamere Tartan Jacket blends classic country charm with modern sophistication. Made from 100% waxed cotton, it features a subtle tartan pattern and is treated with Silkwax, a cutting-edge, breathable fabric with a soft, matte finish. Weighing in at 290 GSM, the jacket offers both durability and water resistance, perfect for light showers. 

The fabric is sourced from Halley Stevensons, a renowned UK finisher with over 150 years of expertise, ensuring each jacket is crafted to stand out in both texture and performance.

Designed for the elegant woman who enjoys the outdoors, the Delamere Jacket combines style with practicality. With features like a corduroy collar and cuffs, heavy-duty zip, and spring-set studs, it provides both comfort and versatility.

Available in three elegant colourways – Black Watch, Iona, and Brown Tartan – it’s ideal for a range of activities, from shooting to dog walking. The jacket’s 100% cotton tartan lining adds an extra touch of heritage, while its lightweight design ensures it’s suitable for year-round wear. Pair it with our curated collection of country clothing.

Ladies Derby Tweed Mayland Blazer

Expertly crafted from a premium blend of 60% wool, the blazer offers both quality and durability. Designed with a single-breasted cut and two-button fastening, it transitions effortlessly from casual to formal wear.

A fully lined interior, three-button cuffs, and included spare buttons ensure timeless style with attention to detail.

“This is a gorgeous, rich olive colour. Well made. Fits as expected. I plan on wearing this as a hacking riding jacket.”
Suzanne, online.

Built to withstand the elements of country life while maintaining a refined look, this blazer is treated with a fabric protector, providing long-lasting protection against stains, dust, and water. Whether paired with a matching waistcoat for a sophisticated ensemble at weddings and race days or worn over a relaxed knit for countryside outings, it’s a true investment in classic British style.

Men’s Classic Harrington Jacket

A true icon of menswear, the Harrington Jacket has remained a staple for nearly a century, loved for its effortless blend and practicality. Originally designed as a golf jacket, it quickly gained cult status when style icons like Elvis Presley, James Dean, and Frank Sinatra made it their own – both on and off the screen. Its lightweight design, sharp silhouette, and versatility have ensured its place in fashion history. The name “Harrington” stems from Ryan O’Neal’s character in the 1960’s TV drama Peyton Place, solidifying the jacket’s association with effortless cool. 

Today, it remains a go-to choice for smart yet casual dressing, featuring a water-resistant outer shell, spacious interior for ease of movement, and a classic, structured fit. Whether styled with jeans and trainers for a laid-back weekend look or paired with tailored trousers for a refined edge, the Harrington jacket is an investment in timeless, everyday style.

A true staple in Jack Murphy’s Heritage Collection, the Lambourne Coat is the ultimate waterproof companion for the outdoors.

Its full-length design, detachable hood, and adjustable cuffs ensure maximum protection, while taped seams and a storm flap keep wind and rain firmly at bay. The lightweight construction, larger back vent, and breathable underarm vents make it as comfortable as it is practical. 

“This long coat really is long. The bottom of the coat covers the top of my wellington boots, so my trousers don’t get wet in heavy rain, which is the main reason why I bought the Lambourne long coat. The Lambourne is also smart and stylish, with an attractive lining. The detachable hood fits neatly into the inside pocket, so it’s always to hand if needed.”
Timothy, online.

Designed for durability, this classic coat is lined with Jack Murphy’s Heritage Check and finished with branded detailing, offering timeless style alongside outstanding performance. Available in Olive, Navy, and Black, with a roomy fit for layering, it’s ideal for outdoor pursuits like hiking, shooting, horse-riding, or dog walking

Puddle-Proof Fashion: The Best Rain-Ready Country Coats

There’s something rather romantic about an April downpour in the countryside. The rhythmic patter of raindrops on the stable roof, the scent of damp earth rising from the fields, and the way the hedgerows glisten as though dusted with diamonds – it’s all rather lovely. That is, of course, if you’re properly dressed for it.

At Walker and Hawkes, we don’t cower at the first sign of drizzle or dash for cover when the heavens open. We carry on, wrapped in trusty waxed jackets, shielded by wide-brim hats, and snug in gilets that keep the chill at bay. Rain? It’s merely a backdrop to country life, not a disruption.

So, let it pour! With the right kit, there’s no such thing as bad weather – just another fine excuse to don our best rain-ready attire. Here’s how to embrace the elements in style.

The Ultimate Waterproof Coats

A waterproof coat isn’t just about staying dry – it’s about comfort, durability, and timeless country style. Whether you’re out for a long ride, walking the fields, or simply heading to the pub guided by the village paths – these coats have you covered.

Jack Murphy Men’s Emmet Long Waterproof Riding Coat

For those who need full coverage, the Emmet Waterproof Coat is a standout. With a 20,000mm waterproof rating, it can withstand even the heaviest downpour. The long design, secured with leg straps, ensures you stay dry from head to knee, while the detachable, fully lined hood offers complete protection. Taped seams, a storm flap, and adjustable cuffs make this coat built to battle the elements. 

Jack Murphy Men’s Lambourne Coat

A heritage classic, the Lambourne Coat combines traditional style with serious protection. Like the Emmet, it boasts a 20,000 waterproof rating, making it impervious to even the most persistent rain. A lightweight design with a large back vent allows for ease of movement, while compromising waterproofing. Finished with Jack Murphy’s Heritage Check lining, this coat is as stylish as it is practical.

Waterproof Wool Jackets: The Best of Both Worlds

For those who prefer the refined look of tweed but don’t want to sacrifice protection, waterproof wool jackets offer the perfect solution. 

Men’s Wool AC Shooting Jacket 

Crafted for the outdoorsman who values both function and finesse, this wool shooting jacket is warm yet lightweight, thanks to the innovative 3M Thinsulate Type M insulation. With a drop liner making it fully waterproof, this jacket is designed for crisp mornings and rainy afternoons alike. Handy features like hand-warmer pockets, a throat flap, and a storm flap ensure warmth and protection from the elements. 

Men’s Abraham Moon Tweed Ryton Shooting Jacket 

For a touch of British heritage, the Ryton Shooting Jacket is an excellent choice. Made from 100% Shetland Wool woven by Abraham Moon & Sons, a Yorkshire-based mill with over 180 years of history, this jacket is as luxurious as it is practical. A drop liner provides full waterproofing, while moleskin-lined hand-warmer pockets and a detachable throat flap offer extra warmth. The breathable membrane allows body heat to escape while keeping rain firmly out, making this a must-have for any gentleman who enjoys the great outdoors.

For extra warmth without bulk, the Haxby Gilet is an excellent choice. Diamond quilted for a stylish finish, it serves as both a statement outer layer and a practical underlayer when needed. Made in Britain by expert craftsmen with over 40 years of experience, this waxed cotton gilet upholds the long-standing tradition of durability and protection. Waterproof, windproof, and built to last, it ensures you stay comfortable while embracing the changing season. 

Complete the look with the Hoaden Tweed Baseball Cap. Designed for both style and function, its 60% wool blend outer provides warmth, while the protective coating offers long-lasting protection against stains and moisture. The adjustable Velcro fitting ensures a secure and comfortable fit, making it an ideal companion for those crisp but sunny spring days.

Waterproof Coats for Ladies: Rain? What Rain?

A drizzle? Hardly worth noticing. A downpour? Just part of the countryside’s charm. Out here, we don’t hide from the weather – we dress for it. Whether striding through the fields, riding out before breakfast, or dashing into town, the right coat means you can do it all in comfort, warmth, and style. 

Ladies’ Waterproof ¾ Length Hunton Cape Coat 

Designed for all country pursuits, the Hunton Cape Coat is practical as it is elegant. The ¾ length keeps you dry without restricting movement, while the shoulder cape and tartan lining add a traditional touch. A corduroy collar, taped seams, and a studded placket keep out wind and rain, and the detachable hood ensures you stay covered when the weather turns. Tough, durable, and effortlessly stylish – this is a coat for women who embrace the outdoors, no matter the forecast.  

Ladies Derby Tweed Hazelwood Shooting Jacket 

The Hazelwood Shooting Jacket is a true country classic, blending timeless tweed with modern weatherproofing. Made from Derby Tweed and treated with a fabric protector, it shrugs off rain, mud, and the rough and tumble of outdoor life. The thick yet breathable padding keeps you warm, while windstopper cuffs, a detachable throat flap, and deep hand-warmer pockets ensure comfort even on the coldest mornings. A jacket made to last – built for the outdoors, but smart enough for town. 

Ladies Jack Murphy Waterproof Malvern Coat 

When the heavens open, the Malvern Coat has you covered – literally. With a 20,000mm waterproof rating, it’s designed to handle the heaviest rain without a second thought. The longline fit keeps you dry from head to knee, with leg straps to secure it in place. A detachable, lined hood, storm flap, and adjustable cuffs shut out wind and rain, while its lightweight design allows for ease of movement. Practical, elegant, and built to last, this is the coat you’ll reach for year after year. 

Let it Rain – We’re Ready!

A grey sky? A drizzle? A torrential downpour? Nothing a good coat can’t handle. Whether wrapped in classic tweed, heritage riding coat, or a full-length waterproof number, there’s no need to cower indoors when the heavens open. 

So, pull on your coat, step outside, and carry on as usual – because, in the countryside, the weather is just another part of the adventure.

The in-between: transitioning into spring with Walker and Hawkes

There’s something magical about this time of year – the in-between, where winter hasn’t fully let go, but spring hasn’t quite settled in. Morning still holds a crisp bite, afternoons tease with a hint of warmth, and evenings remind us that we’re not out of the woods just yet. It’s the season of layering, of never quite knowing whether you’ll need a thick coat or just a sturdy gilet. 

At Walker and Hawkes, we know this transitional time calls for smart, versatile dressing – a classic country stroll, tending to early spring farm chores, or heading to town, it’s all about striking that balance between warmth and breathability. 

So, let’s think about layers – the key to mastering the in-between season with style and practicality.

Rainy days: staying dry in style

Spring showers are inevitable, but with the right gear, there’s no need to shy away from the outdoors. The Jack Murphy Lambourne Coat is the pinnacle of waterproof protection, boasting a 20,000mm waterproof rating and built to withstand even the heaviest rain. Its long design keeps you dry down to your knees, with leg straps for added security, while a detachable hood and adjustable cuffs ensure full protection from the elements. Despite its durability, the lightweight design and vented back allow for ease of movement, making it the ideal companion for wet weather. 

Pair it with a sturdy rain proof hat like the Belton Flat Cap and you’re onto a winner. Crafted from 100% waxed cotton by British Millerain, a trusted name in waterproof fabrics for over 140 years,. Its stitched-down peak offers extra protection from rain, while the deep fit and tartan cotton lining keep you both warm and comfortable. Practical yet timeless, these pieces ensure you stay dry without compromising on country style.

Chilly but sunny: the perfect balance

There’s nothing quite like a bright spring morning where the sun is shining, yet the air still holds a chill. Our Merino Wool Woodham Jumper, crafted in a luxurious honeycomb Aran knit from 100% Merino wool, is the perfect companion. Its versatile design pairs seamlessly with trousers or tweed and for a polished look, team it with a collared shirt. Whether you’re heading out for work, a walk or spontaneous evening in the pub garden, this elegant knitwear will be your go-to time and time again. 

For extra warmth without bulk, the Haxby Gilet is an excellent choice. Diamond quilted for a stylish finish, it serves as both a statement outer layer and a practical underlayer when needed. Made in Britain by expert craftsmen with over 40 years of experience, this waxed cotton gilet upholds the long-standing tradition of durability and protection. Waterproof, windproof, and built to last, it ensures you stay comfortable while embracing the changing season. 

Complete the look with the Hoaden Tweed Baseball Cap. Designed for both style and function, its 60% wool blend outer provides warmth, while the protective coating offers long-lasting protection against stains and moisture. The adjustable Velcro fitting ensures a secure and comfortable fit, making it an ideal companion for those crisp but sunny spring days.

Cold snap: when winter clings on

Some mornings still feel like winter hasn’t quite let go, and for those times, a waxed jacket is your best defense against the lingering chill. The walker and Hawkes Ladies Wax Florence Motorcycle Jacket is crafted from 100% waxed cotton, offering a waterproof shield against the elements. Its tartan-lined interior provides warmth, while details like a corduroy collar, storm flap, and adjustable belt strap ensure both comfort and style. 

The Men’s Wax Grafton Motorcycle Jacket offers the same level of durability and classic country appeal, making it a perfect companion piece. 

To seal in warmth, wrap up in the 100% Chaderton Lambswool Scarf, a testament to British textile heritage. Sourced from Mallalieus of Delph, one of the UK’s last vertical mills, this scarf combines durability with softness, offering excellent insulation without added bulk. With its versatile 30cm width and 180cm length, it can be styled effortlessly for both function and elegance. 

Early risers and late chill: transitional comfort

For those who start their days early or enjoy a quiet evening stroll, temperatures can still drop significantly, especially as we move through the in-between season. Why not think about a hat that can help keep those ears warm. Try the Harris Tweed Berkeley Fedora Hat, made from 100% Harris Tweed wool, handwoven in the Outer Hebrides. This hat is not only stylish but also practical, offering warmth and an elegant touch to your outfit. The foldable ear-flaps are perfect for those colder moments, ensuring you stay warm without sacrificing style. 

Layer up with the Ladies Derby Tweed Mayland Blazer, made from a high-quality blend of 60% wool. This single-breasted, two-button blazer is both elegant and functional, perfect for early morning outings. Whether you’re pairing it with jeans for a more casual look or wearing it with a shirt and tie with trousers for a more polished style. It offers versatility, warmth, and comfort. Its special treated material ensures long-lasting protection against stains so you can maintain its pristine appearance even through outdoor adventures.

Made in Britain from high-quality Derby Tweed, its rugged construction features reinforced shoulders and pockets, with protection added to the material to help fight off dirt and rain. The twill-woven fabric ensures both resilience and comfort, making it an essential layer for all seasons.

A timeless jacket – built to last, designs to love

As we navigate this season of change, there’s something wonderfully comforting about having the right layers to wrap ourselves in. The mornings are cool, the afternoons warm, and the evenings – well, they often surprise us with a chill that lingers a little longer than expected. It’s the time of year when we need to adapt, to keep moving through the unpredictability with grace and ease. 

As spring unfolds its unpredictable beauty, rest assured – you’re not facing it alone. With every transition, every layer you add, and every moment you embrace the outdoors, we’ll be right here, offering timeless pieces designed to move with you.

Strong women, strong style: how Walker and Hawkes empowers women through fashion

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.” 
Ladies Waterproof Salsbury Cape Coat

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!”
Wool Felt Howick Hat

Fashion that empowers women every day

Our heritage fashion is made to stand the test of time, just like the women who wear it. Each piece is designed to help you feel grounded, confident, and ready for whatever life throws at you, whether you’re heading out for an adventure or simply embracing the day ahead.
