Every year, we all face the same question: what do you buy the man who already has everything?
The answer, as it turns out, is something he doesn’t yet know he needs — but will never want to be without.
This Christmas, that something is a Lockwood Premium British Smock.
Handmade in Birmingham from British-milled waxed cotton, lined with authentic Harris Tweed or British wool, and designed by a serving British soldier, the Lockwood Wax Smock isn’t just another jacket — it’s a statement of British craftsmanship, resilience, and timeless country style.
⸻
Lockwood Smocks were born out of a belief that Britain should still make the best outdoor clothing in the world.
Every smock is cut, stitched, and finished entirely on British soil — no shortcuts, no outsourcing, no compromise.
Our Vintage Arthur and Vintage Henry Wax Smocks are made using Halley Stevensons waxed cotton — the same legendary Scottish mill that has supplied Britain’s finest outerwear for over a century. Paired with Harris Tweed collars and brass YKK zips, each smock is a nod to our heritage and a promise to the future of British manufacturing.
Whether he’s out on the peg, walking the dogs, or simply living life outdoors, a Lockwood Wax Smock offers weatherproof protection, heritage style, and handmade longevity.

Unlike imported jackets that fade or fray within a few years, Lockwood Smocks are made to endure decades of wear. Every wax smock can be re-waxed, reproofed, and repaired — ensuring it only gets better with age.
It’s British-made longevity, tailored for men who prefer authenticity over logos, craftsmanship over mass production, and stories over trends.
Each smock is individually numbered, a reminder that true craftsmanship should be limited, personal, and enduring.
⸻
• Limited availability – Each smock run is capped, often selling out months before restock.
• Handmade in Britain – From Birmingham workshops to Scottish wax mills, every component is proudly British.
• Lifetime value – A piece that can be re-waxed and passed down.
• Soldier-designed, field-tested – Born from experience, not boardrooms.
• A story worth giving – Every Lockwood garment supports British jobs, charities, and heritage craftsmanship.
If you’re looking for the best Christmas gift for men, or a luxury British-made jacket that carries meaning beyond the material, look no further. The Lockwood Wax Smock is for the modern gentleman with old-world values.

When he opens that box and unfolds the Union Jack cotton flag wrapping, he’ll see more than a jacket. He’ll see the mark of British endurance — a Lockwood Premium British Smock, handmade by people who still believe things should be built to last.
Whether you choose the Vintage Arthur Wax Smock with its deep olive finish, or the Vintage Henry Wax Smock in rich navy paired with matching Harris Tweed, you’re giving something that’s more than clothing.
You’re giving craftsmanship, legacy, and pride.
