The British countryside through spring and summer is nothing if not a study in contrast — soft light and sharp showers, quiet hedgerows and raucous rookeries, stillness punctuated by activity. Our Spring Summer 2025 collection takes its cue from this nuanced terrain, offering a wardrobe built for field, garden and everything in between — where classic outdoor style meets considered modern tailoring.

This season, as ever, our outerwear understands the difference between a walk across the fells and an outdoor lunch under uncertain skies. Take the women’s Alnwick Jacket — a lightweight cotton-linen design inspired by the field jacket, balancing classic Purdey lines with utility: water-resistant, belted for definition, and subtle enough for town wear. For men, the Lowick Jacket answers in kind — cut from a robust cotton canvas and tailored enough to suggest you might know your way around both a map and a fine-dining menu.

These jackets are made for the layered life — ready for the warm midday sun or the inevitable late-afternoon breeze. Their charm lies not in embellishment, but in detail: gunmetal hardware, storm-fastened collars, and generous pockets with purpose.

Colours of Nature

Purdey has long appreciated that the most elegant colours are often borrowed from nature. This season’s palette leans into earthy ochres, lush greens and maritime blues — designed not to shout, but to belong.

The Sherburn Jacket for women is one such example. In Loden green, it’s quietly confident — practical without sacrificing elegance. Its male counterpart, the Roxburgh Jacket, speaks a similar dialect, with a four-pocket structure inspired by the classic field coat, and just enough ease to wear all weekend long.

Underneath, layering is handled by considered knitwear. The Fifescar Donegal High Neck Sweater combines the softness of cashmere with the rugged character of Donegal fleck, and a snug ribbed neck for extra insulation when the temperature doesn’t match the forecast. For men, the Farne Guernsey Wool Sweater channels maritime tradition — a hardy piece with a heritage stitch and a shoulder strong enough to carry a weekend’s worth of wood, or wine.

The Thorlstone Knitted Jacket also deserves mention, as the best of both worlds. Part cardigan, part blazer, and the answer to the age-old question of what to wear when the weather can’t quite make up its mind.

Hosting in the Field

There’s something distinctly British about laying a tablecloth or picnic blanket outdoors and embracing whatever the weather might bring. Whether it’s a shooting lunch under canvas or a bottle of something chilled on the back lawn, Purdey brings a touch of ceremony to open-air hosting.

Start with the right layers: our quilted jackets and gilets offer lightweight warmth without bulk, making them ideal for field picnics or cool summer evenings. Add a Purdey flask, engraved and discreet, to lend a little steel to your afternoon. And for those who value comfort as much as craftsmanship, Purdey outdoor backed blankets, complete with leather carriers, provide an elegant perch — whether on a hillside or the boot of your Defender.

Our homeware collection completes the picture, bringing the field indoors with tactile throws, refined tableware, and accessories that reflect a life lived in close conversation with nature.

Tradition, Tailored

The Purdey Spring Summer 2025 collection is not about nostalgia, but evolution. These are clothes with purpose, for people who know where they’re going — and understand that the weather may have other ideas. Designed with the British landscape in mind and cut to move with ease between environments, each piece is as suited to the dog walk as it is to a drink at dusk. Made to ensure your experience of the outdoors is all the more enjoyable.
