Thanks - I bought my jacket from Sports Direct but assumed they were a stockist, not the owner!

My Brasher boots have lasted 15 years and only failed due to younger me being too lazy to look after the leather properly (it's cracked at the crease). Thanks for all the names, will see which I can find stockists for.

My wife wouldn't be seen dead with me wearing Paramo. If they'd only do better cut garments!

My first pair of Brasher boots were superb - possibly the comfiest boots I have ever owned. They lasted about 2 years before the leather cracked and they were unrepairable - but that's with constant (ab)use - my fault not theirs.

I purchased what I thought was a direct replacement pair recently only to discover that what they now sell (following an acquisition) is a poor copy of the boots I had before.

Look after your kit and your kit will look after you ;-)

Altberg and AKU are my go-to brands for boots at the moment.
