What happened to the Coeur De Lion Brand? My wife bought a bikers jacket as a Christmas present a few years ago. Reading the article, knocked me into looking into what they make these days. No sign of them. The jacket is brilliantly well made. If they’ve gone then it’s a real shame?
Their website is https://www.coeur.de/en/home but it looks like they are German, not British.
Kate, yes great it opened my horizons to men’s British coats, but why don’t you add a link so interested buyers can go straight to their websites?
Hi Brian… both the name of the brand and the images are links through to either the brands listing in the Make it British directory, or their own website.
Hi Kate
Keep the lists coming along with the podcasts. Snugpak could do to be on that list too. Super warm and hi-tec and lots UK manufactured in Yorkshire.
Excellent article. Great to see all of those quality brands. Are Belstaff a british made brand?
Belstaff for biking coats and the like. Now owned by Jim Ratcliffe and his group based in Stoke they have done top notch leather gear for decades.
There do not appear to be any ” Ladies, long, wool, camel coloured coats” manufactured in England ( or even UK).
Anything where the materials are also sourced entirely from British owned companies or G B itself?
Just bought 2 Sherlock rain coats from Percival Menswear – they use material from Millerain which is then made into the coats in Walthamstow.
How about the duffle coat for men and woman?
I loved the article though.
Hello Kate,
I love your website because I always try to buy British. One brand I buy lots of products from is John Smedley fine gauge knitwear. High quality and lasts for years. They have mill in Derbyshire. I am surprised you haven’t included them?
Great to be included in this feature. To answer a question from one of the commenters, we source all our fabrics from British mills. Most of it is dyed and finished in UK. A growing proportion is actually woven in UK.
And we use exclusively British made buttons too.
Wonderful article to be reading on a warm November day in Texas!
My ancestral inclinations are rustling happily.
When I was in my 20’s I had a business trip to London. I bought a UK made topcoat at Austin Reeds. The brand still exists but they do not seem to make topcoats. Amazingly the double breasted herringbone is still stylish and fits. Any recommendations how and where to replace?
