Jackets

My 20 year old jacket is starting to disintegrate, sadly I need to replace, not so easy, either jackets are hugely expensive because of a fashionable name, or cheap and rubbish.

I have found this company, and looking at the reviews it would appear to be good quality, what I want and reasonably priced, anybody have experience of them?

Just a quick update, have exchanged emails regarding measurements, colour etc and had instant and positive response, so will place an order this week, will let you know how I get on

Couldn't nip round and try it on for me? check zips, studs, stitching, take photos/videos, liner, colour, previous maintenance history,
oh sorry, wrong thread

 

see pm,

I ordered a "pioneer" cotton waxed jacket from Claymore, there is about an eight week waiting list at the moment. You have to take quite a number of measurements, which are checked, queried and retaken, the jacket makes about a week to make.
Arrived this morning, absolutely perfect fit, very high quality materials and workmanship, the colour is darker and better than shown in the brochure.
The contact at Claymore is Carl Wilson, buying blind on line is risky, but this is recommended, much better quality than off the peg, better materials and made in the UK.
Cost was a bit less than advertised, inc postage came out at £320.00, which I think is very good value, - highly recommended.
Big problem is that it is a Christmas present from missus om, so can't wear it for a month.
