A Herringbone Hero…

Herringbone Hero

Few garments embody quiet confidence quite like the classic Herringbone Wool Sports Jacket. Rooted in the traditions of rural tailoring and refined over more than a century of craftsmanship, it represents the perfect balance between rugged practicality and understated elegance.

Originally worn by country sportsmen of the early 20th century, the herringbone jacket was designed with unpredictable British weather in mind. The tightly woven wool provided natural insulation, wind resistance, and durability, while the subtle pattern cleverly concealed wear from outdoor pursuits. Over time, it has moved effortlessly from country to city, becoming a wardrobe staple for town and country wear.

The Shetland wool has that signature ruggedness: warm, breathable and with a bit of texture that keeps things interesting without shouting about it. It pairs as easily with denim and chunky knitwear as it does with wool flannel trousers and a crisp Oxford shirt. Perfect for autumn walks, pub lunches, or just being the best-dressed man at the bookshop.

A Herringbone Jacket instantly adds refinement to any outfit, yet never feels overdressed, which is very William Crabtree…

A note on seasonal sales…

We don't participate in Black Friday or other fast fashion seasonal sales. The reason is that we believe strongly in investing in items for your wardrobe for the long term. We don't do fads - our collections are forever classics and are thoughtfully designed and created with the best possible raw materials with makers that also share our commitment to sustainability. This means we can consistently and authentically deliver the very best quality clothing at reasonable prices throughout the year and you can be assured you can purchase in plenty of time for the season and know we won't be marking down later on.

Instead of seasonal sales, we opt for an Archive Sale once or perhaps twice a year, where we present a very select few items at gentler prices for the lines we are phasing out.

Another reason why as customers, your loyalty and understanding of our values means everything.
