Seil Marschall has been handmaking fine clothing & accessories since 1896. Based in Southern Germany, it is a small company that hasn’t changed much over all these years; believing that their quality would not be possible to produce in big quantities, preferring instead to offer their goods to a unique group of customers who recognize the quality of a fine handmade product.
Using the finest natural materials and accessories available they take as much time as they need to manufacture long lasting products to protect you in the most extreme conditions.

First we have the ‘LW Climbers Pack’ made from a rugged navy canvas & full grain vegetable tanned bridle leather. Features padded back & padded adjustable shoulder straps, adjustable waist strap, zippered pocket on lid, two inner compartments, brass zippers & fittings and all seams are piped with cotton for extra durability. Each piece is made to last a lifetime. We should be getting a few more colors soon.

Also arrived even if a little late are the ‘Naturemocs’ – a handsewn leather moccasin with crepe sole. The whole inner of the shoe is lined in wool for warmth & comfort, making these incredibly comfortable. Maybe a little late in the season but we thought we’d put them on the site anyway, just in case you live in Antarctica. Will also be available in black.

Lavenham is an English manufacturer of superior quality country clothing and horse rugs. The brand was founded in 1969 and made the first nylon quilted horse rug, closely followed by matching jackets and waistcoats for the rider. The name quickly spread and Lavenham established a reputation of quality and durability through its nylon quilted products.
30 years on, all manufacturing is still in-house, each stage of production is closely overseen at their Sudbury premises, from cutting, quilting to the final inspection of the goods. The best raw materials are sourced within the British Isles, right down to the interlining used.

There are 3 styles of jackets, The ‘Colchester’ with throat tab, adjustable cuffs & button up front, available in two colors, Aegean Chambray or Sage,
secondly, The ‘Kelvedon’ which has a removable hood & zippered front with storm flap & finally the ‘Denham Rib’ also available in two colors, Pale Pistachio or Sage. This is the simplest of the three jackets & features snap buttoned front & ribbed cuffs.

Canvas & leather tote bags by Buckaroo manufacturing company who were established 1983 in Colarado, USA. Available in Burgundy, Green, Natural & Olive canvas, coupled with tan leather, these bags are hard wearing & good looking right now but will get much better over time with wear.

Recently added to the website are some nice new products for the spring & summer, from Paraboot, Shuron, & Utility Canvas.

Two styles of Paraboot shoes have been added to the site, the classic ‘Barth’ boat shoe in a waxy dark navy leather with white sole & white leather laces & the ‘Malibu’ shoe which has the same white sole as the ‘Barth’ but with a more shoe like upper, this model is in a taupe leather with tan leather laces.

We have added 2 new bags from Utility Canvas to our site, both in a heavy 21oz natural canvas, first the ‘Whaling Tote’ (pictured below) this has a bright yellow vinyl stripe wrapped around which adds extra strength & just looks great in general, (we are also getting this bag with green vinyl next week) Secondly there is the classic ‘Field Bag’ – a very simple, sturdy everyday bag.
We also have some soft cotton, pre-washed knee lengths shorts in 3 colorways, Cinnamon Beach Stripe, (pictured below) Blue Beach Stripe & a Hawaiian inspired Maui Green which has a green & white floral pattern.

Deep tote bag from Utility Canvas in a really substantial 21 ounce Natural Canvas.  A couple of us have been using these bags for a year or so & they are just so useful & understated – 6 large pockets, 3 inside & 3 outside, really sturdy carrying handles & an adjustable shoulder strap. The canvas starts off pretty rough but softens with use…………Perfect as an everyday bag. This style is now discontinued so we have the last few left anywhere, although we should be getting some different styles in soon.
