William & Son Regent Technical Coat
William & Son has long-standing expertise in jewellery, silverware and leather goods, but where it truly comes into its own is in the arena of outdoor sports. As a maker of some of the finest bespoke, handcrafted shotguns available on the market, it's little surprise that its country clothing is also more than sturdy enough to hold up to the rigours of the sport. This fully waterproof single-breasted jacket, made from 100% British cotton with breathable membrane, comes with a number of features specially designed for the job. These include pivot sleeves to facilitate movement while shooting, elasticated storm cuffs and plenty of pockets.

Barbour Irvine Jacket
This season’s unpredictable weather calls for adaptable, everyday pieces that can withstand unforeseen downpours. This chic and minimal design from Barbour more than fits the brief; its cinder orange colour lends a modern edge, while its hood, which can be tightened via toggles, and zipped welt pockets will help keep both you and your essentials dry.

Belstaff Vapour
In 1909, Belstaff founder Eli Belovitch used his experience in weatherproofing to create the brand’s now iconic wax cotton, and ever since, it has been leading the way in robust, all-weather gear. In its latest collection this technical know-how has been manifested in high-performance pieces such as the Vapour jacket. Made from ultralight stretch nylon, allowing for ease of mobility while remaining completely water repellent, other practical details include a large front-centre pocket and elasticated waist adjuster.
