In a world where fast fashion dominates and clothes are treated as disposable, true craftsmanship is hard to find. At Lockwood Premium British Smocks, our mission is simple: to make outerwear that lasts a lifetime, not just a season.
British Fabrics with Real Heritage
We only work with the best British suppliers. Our waxed cotton comes from Halley Stevensons of Dundee, established in 1864 and world-renowned for producing technical waxed fabrics that stand up to the harshest weather. For tweed, we turn to Harris Tweed Hebrides, guardians of the famous Orb Mark and weavers of one of the most authentic heritage fabrics on the planet. These fabrics aren’t just beautiful — they’re tough, sustainable, and steeped in history.
Made and Finished in Britain
Every smock is handmade here in the UK, supporting British jobs and manufacturing. Our formal finishing is carried out in Oldbury, West Midlands, where generations of garment makers have perfected their craft. From hand-cutting patterns to the final stitch, each Lockwood smock reflects the dedication of skilled British hands.
Individually Numbered for Exclusivity
Every Lockwood smock is individually numbered, making each piece part of a strictly limited run. When you receive your smock, you’re not just buying another jacket off the shelf — you’re securing a piece of our story. That number ties your smock directly back to us, adding authenticity, collectability, and a personal connection with the brand.
A Four-Year Warranty You Can Trust
We believe in the strength of our work, which is why every smock comes with a four-year warranty on manufacturing. It’s our promise that your investment will hold up, whether you’re wearing it in the city, the field, or the hills.
Lifetime Repair and Re-Waxing
But we don’t stop there. By the end of this year, our website will include a lifetime subsidised repair service — making it simple to send your smock back for affordable repairs whenever needed. For our waxed jackets, we’ve partnered with WAXXED, experts in re-proofing, to offer a professional re-waxing service that keeps your smock weatherproof and adds character over time.
Built for the Countryside. Ready for the City.
Every Lockwood smock is designed to perform. Made with fabrics that have clothed explorers, soldiers, and farmers for generations, our smocks are as at home in the British countryside as they are in the heart of London.
The New Standard in British Countrywear
This is more than a jacket. It’s a commitment to sustainability, heritage, and true British craftsmanship. With Halley Stevensons, Harris Tweed Hebrides, Oldbury finishing, individual numbering, and a warranty and care service that lasts for life, our smocks set the new standard in British countrywear.
