I looked at buying the Falklands Smock

I looked at buying the Falklands Smock, but was unsure with regards to sizing, so I emailed Jacob who got back to me with some good advice and reassurance about the returns policy.

Two days later and I'm wearing my new Smock, perfect fit and excellent quality piece of kit, I'm beyond impressed with Jacob and Ruth, who packed and dispatched my lovely new coat!

Jacob and his team have exceptionally high standards about their customer service, and will be around for a long time with their business standards and work ethic. Keep up the good work mate, I will be coming back!

Squaddie-Proof Gear

Squaddie-Proof Gear! Outstanding Quality, Service & British Craftsmanship!

Ordered late on Wednesday night, received a personal welcome email and order confirmation on Thursday, and by Sunday my order had arrived via tracked Royal Mail. Four days from ordering to wearing! Absolutely first-class service.

I ordered the Vintage Henry Smock, and the quality is simply outstanding. The styling is unique, full of character and a genuine stand-out piece. It’s one of those garments you immediately know is something special.

I also ordered the British Harlequin Polo, and again, the quality hits you straight away. Heavy-duty material, excellent construction and a real sense that no corners have been cut.

Sizing is spot on, too. Both garments fit true to size.

What makes Lockwood even more impressive is the company ethos. A veteran-founded British business built around quality, durability, integrity and making clothing that lasts. It’s refreshing to see a company genuinely putting those principles into practice.

I’ve always believed “buy cheap, buy twice”, and it’s immediately obvious that Lockwood takes the opposite approach. This is proper kit, designed to stand the test of time rather than the next fashion season.

Squaddie-proof gear!!! that’s about the highest compliment you can give!

Outstanding products, a personal touch and exceptional service. Lockwood has gained a very happy customer. I’ll absolutely be back for more.

Five stars without hesitation. Highly recommended!

It's a great gilet..so great I have two!!

It's a great gilet... so great I now own two (olive and navy) and also ordered one for my Nan and she's chuffed to bits! It's wonderful knowing Lockwood is supporting the British economy and I'm so proud to wear our family name out and about. I just wish my Grandad was still alive as he would have loved this timeless, quality brand and he would have loved that it's 100% British. Genuinely top quality and stylish.

Where do I begin

Where do I begin? Maybe the fantastic, personal customer service, maybe the quality of my Churchill smock. First time purchasing and blown away by the quality of design and materials used. Second to none for customer service and was also very happy to know I was supporting a former serviceman. All I can say is I will be purchasing more and will with great pride tell people, when asked, this is a Lockwood Smock.

Where It All Began

Every Barracks gilet is named after a barracks I served in. The Mons is named after Mons Barracks in Aldershot, my first posting with the Coldstream Guards. Discipline, routine and quiet pride in doing things properly were simply the standard there. That’s where it started for me, so this is where the Barracks Collection starts too. Light sage, for the man who values understated quality over loud branding.
