New · Autumn / Winter 26
Made for the long way back from Buttermere.
A 280 gsm brushed-back quarter-zip, cut for damp British weather and the kind of dog that ignores it. The Ascent, in Moss, Slate and Burgundy.
The Ascent Fleece.
We made the Ascent because we wanted one that was ours — something we'd wear ourselves, not another big name's idea of the outdoors. A 280 gsm fleece with a soft-brushed back, cut for damp British weather and the kind of dog that ignores it. Quarter-zip, two hand pockets deep enough for a lead and a treat bag, and the faux-leather chest patch you'll find on everything we ever make.
- 280 gsm soft-brushed polyester-cotton fleece
- Two hand pockets
- Machine wash 30°C, with the muddy stuff
- Faux-leather chest patch with snap pocket
- YKK quarter-zip
- Available XS–XL, in Moss, Slate & Burgundy
From the path.
Short writing about the places we walk, the dogs we walk with, and how the fleece holds up.
Field Note · 05 · Place Fell
Very warm, escorted most of the way up by flies with opinions. Deer at the top, which made it even.
Field Note · 04 · Warton Crag
Ten minutes from the house, which is the point. The fleece does most of its miles here, not on the postcards.
Field Note · 03 · Loughrigg
The sort of afternoon that would have been miserable anywhere else and somehow wasn't.
About
It started on Silverdale beach.
We always liked taking sunset strolls, and one evening we took the beach. Once Floss finally listened and we began heading back, we got onto the topic of Beth's fleece addiction — a whole collection of nearly-right ones, never the perfect one. That's when we thought… why not just make our own? The perfect look, the perfect feel, the perfect fleece.
Beth knows fleeces, fells and dogs — veterinary nurse by trade, the one with the Wainwrights list worth bragging about. Tommy's the newer walker, still learning the hard way. Between us, with Floss and Fred supervising, we designed the fleece Beth could never find.
Nothing is shouted about. We design from Silverdale and Carnforth, walk everything we make, and repair what we sell — for as long as the fleece holds together.
