The smock that started Lockwood.
Built because field kit kept failing.
The Brecon Smock
Serious wet kit. Built from frustration. Made to last.
The Brecon Smock was the first smock I ever designed.
It came from years spent in the anti-tank platoon of the Coldstream Guards, sitting in OPs, working in filthy weather, and watching issued kit and so-called “good” wet kit get trashed long before it should. That frustration is what led to the Brecon and ultimately what led to the start of Lockwood.
I wanted to build something that would actually last.
So the Brecon was made as proper wet kit for hard use. Not a fashion piece. Not a short-term fix. A smock built to take punishment and keep doing its job.
The outer is made from 1000D PU-coated Cordura nylon, an extremely tough and highly waterproof fabric designed to stand up to real abuse. Inside, a 4oz PU-coated lining adds a second waterproof barrier. Together, they work like a form of double glazing, with two protective layers and a rubberised membrane effect that helps stop water getting through.
The result is a smock built for sustained rain, rough ground, hard wear, and the sort of conditions that usually finish cheaper kit off.
Lockwood clothing is also trusted by respected figures in the military community, including Ben Garwood, founder of HR4K and former SAS operator, who chose to stock Lockwood in his specialist military retail store. That matters, because people who know kit do not back things lightly.
The Brecon is handmade in Britain and built for soldiers, field sports, and anyone who wants dependable wet kit without paying for hype.
This is where Lockwood started.
Buy once. Wear it hard.
