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.

Top quality gilet! Fantastic service!

Such a quality item, great fit and lovely details all over. Good sized pockets, looks fantastic and stands out from the crowd.
Fantastic backup and customer service from Lockwood too plus you can find them exhibiting at many country and equestrian events around the country.

Bonus touch the zipper pull can be used as a bottle opener!

Outstanding Quality

My partner bought me this gilet for Christmas, lucky me, I must say, it's fantastic quality and very well made. It's heavier than your regular gilet, but this is no regular gilet. Its a stand out piece in my wardrobe.

Fantastic gift.

Excellent item and faultless service

Excellent item, really great quality and it fits true to size. I have worn as under a jacket and on its own. Been great for watching winter football in cold stands and well as general wear.

Prompt delivery and I appreciated the little hidden gifts and handwritten thank you note.

I will certainly go back to Lockwood, when I look for new jacket/parka.

The most incredible gilet I have ever owned

The most incredible gilet I have ever owned, the quality is exquisite and it is unbelievably warm and cosy, as well as looking very chic. I wore it to the British GT Championship last weekend in challenging weather and remained toasty. Thank you Lockwood!

Quality item of clothing.

A truly beautiful bit of clothing. Fits great, has a nice “weight” to it which adds to the quality. Good sized pockets with zips. Warm, extremely well made. 100% British made too which should be all you need to know. Company has great moral values too owned by a serving member of our Armed forces. I’m already saving for my next purchase!

THE upcoming brand of 2025 - British design and manufacture at its best!

I recently received the Churchill cap and the fleece gilet. I’ve been wearing both over the past few weeks and I am more than massively impressed.

I’m a guy who’s always had flat caps and fleece gilets as a staple of his wardrobe, and these are some of the best I’ve ever owned. The materials are top notch, the workmanship is durable and the design is exactly what you want when you’re out on the ground.

These are not just well thought out products, but you can see the time that’s been invested in getting the right quality materials and working with the right manufacturers. The cap has already proven to be truly waterproof and rip proof and the gilet is serving me perfectly as both a mid and top layer in the typical British spring!

For me, to have UK source products of this quality is great - when you compare the price tag to equivalent mass manufactured products that don’t have half the quality in material or build, this is everything you could ask for in your outdoor wear.

The Plain One, Made Properly

Not everything needs a story behind the name. Sometimes you just want a good gilet, made properly. This is that one. Soft, insulating sherpa fleece in cream, a moleskin collar, cotton-lined pockets and a metal loop-ring zip, finished with the embroidered Guardsman on the collar. It’s cut and sewn in Oldbury. The fleece comes from Turkey and the zip from China, and I’d rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. Warm on its own, or under a smock.
