This summer, the worlds of elite eventing and British tailoring come together in true Lockwood style. I recently paid a visit to CoombeLands Racing Stables, home to five-star international event rider Gaspard Maksud, as he prepares for either the Burghley Horse Trials or the European Championships.
But it wasn’t just horses we were talking about.
Because when Gaspard trots up at one of these prestigious events, he’ll be doing so in Suit No.1 of just 10, handmade in Britain as part of a brand-new collaboration between Lockwood and Michael J. Tailors of Stowmarket.
A Tailoring Collaboration Rooted in British Craft
This is the first-ever suit created under the Lockwood x Michael J. Tailors name—an exclusive project that blends the classic traditions of British tailoring with the modern practicality and countryside grit that defines Lockwood.
• Gaspard Maksud will wear Suit No.1
• I’ll wear No.2
• The remaining 8 suits will be available exclusively at LockwoodSmocks.com (https://www.lockwoodsmocks.com)
Each one is British-made from British-milled cloth, built with structure, subtle flair, and absolute precision. The idea? To create something that can go from the trot-up to town without ever feeling out of place.
Your Suit, Your Fit – On Your Terms
As with everything I do, this isn’t about mass production or compromise. It’s about personal service and proper craftsmanship.
Each buyer will receive:
• A home visit fitting service, no matter where you are in the UK
• Or a 90-minute in-person sizing and first fit at Michael J. Tailors’ workshop in Stowmarket
Whether it’s for the trot-up, the Game Fair, or just standing taller at your next big event, this is a suit that carries the values of rural heritage, British excellence, and modern country living.
Why It Matters
At Lockwood, I’ve always been about more than clothing. This suit is another step in the mission to support British manufacturing, celebrate tailoring tradition, and create clothing that serves people who live, work, and compete in the countryside.
To have someone like Gaspard Maksud lead the way in Suit No.1? That’s the kind of partnership that speaks volumes—quietly, but proudly.
