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 for both style and practicality, the Winston Shooting Waistcoat is the perfect companion for your outdoor pursuits. Designed with moleskin trimmings and a refined five-button enclosure, it offers a classic look without compromising on durability. 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. 

Together, we’ll step into the season and savour each moment, no matter how changeable it may be.

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

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!”

New Year, New Adventures, New Gear

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. 

Whether you’re a seasoned adventure or someone looking to spend more time outdoors this year, we’ve got you covered. 

Start Your Year with Confidence

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. 

So, take the leap into 2025 with gear that’s ready for anything.

New year, new gear, new adventures.
