Every smock is soldier-designed and British-made top to bottom, keeping skills, jobs, and money in the UK. It’s hands-on, personal, and done properly because if it won’t stand up when it matters, it doesn’t leave us.
What should've been a brilliant day picking up stock and processing orders turned into a website nightmare when payment details got blocked for 76 pre-order customers. Here's how the weekend played out, plus new polo top plans and re-shot jet wash testing for the Brecon, Churchill and Metropolitan.
Last week Ruth and I finally took our honeymoon — split into three parts, from Her Majesty's dress collection to a spa gifted by Ruth's family, before we were straight back to packing orders and a visit to Marcel Rodriguez.

This week brings the announcement we've been sitting on for a little while — James Martin, entrepreneur, is joining Lockwood as a business partner. Along with factory visits across the Black Country, birthday celebrations at the Royal Collection, a hand delivery to a local business, and Ruth upstairs packing for our honeymoon as I write this. Here's everything.
