Purdey: the go-to for classic luxury countrywear
Discover why heritage brand Purdey has been a purveyor of fine British style and craftsmanship for over two centuries
Dating back two centuries and holding three Royal Warrants of appointment to the British and other European royal families, Purdey has built on its British sporting roots with collections of heritage apparel and leather goods. From tweed outerwear to tailored shirts, the brand’s hardworking pieces are ideal for life between the city and leisurely escapes to the countryside, and the fall/winter ’20 collection is a classic combination of time-honored traditions. This season’s tweeds are inspired by the feathers of English game birds such as the partridge and pheasant, with their graduating subtle shades of greens, golds and reds, which are the concept behind the new ‘Beatrice’ tweed with its unique ombré effect.
Exclusive to NET-A-PORTER, the ‘Beatrice’ tweed jacket is a versatile hip-length design with classic styling details. Featuring pockets and a single-breasted front, the elegant belt draws attention to the flattering cut and nipped-in waist. For a country sporting weekend, this warm and weather-resistant jacket can be teamed with the high-waisted technical tweed breeks for a refined and practical look that’s perfect for the field. With pull-on storm cuffs that create a weather-proof seal, the breeks have a flattering high waistband for a more feminine fit that allows a shirt to be elegantly tucked in, such as the jacquard pie-crust collar shirt. Inspired by Victorian femininity, this vintage-style piece features a high ruffled neckline and cuffs and is made from 100% Italian cotton. Ideal for a smart wardrobe, it looks equally good under a jacket or sweater as it does on its own with tailored pants or a skirt.

Elsewhere in the collection, the new fitted wool jacket in mushroom herringbone is a stylish lightweight option that’s ideal on milder days or for layering under heavier tweed jackets and coats in more adverse weather. Team it with jeans for a chic country-to-city look or dress it up with the brand’s beautifully cut mushroom herringbone culottes to create an elegant suit. Woven from pure wool, these culottes are cut in a flattering wide-leg shape with a high-rise waist, while the cropped length makes them perfect for styling with a variety of footwear options, depending on the occasion. Team with pumps or heeled boots for a more formal look that’s suitable for the office or dinner parties, and dress them down at the weekend with long flat boots. With its pretty floral print, this season’s new take on the shooting shirt makes the perfect finishing touch. A subtle Clarino leather trim on the shoulders, cuffs and collar adds a luxurious twist to the time-honoured country shirt.
When it comes to outerwear, Purdey’s tweed trench coat is a timeless cover-up that can be worn both in the countryside and around town; the bold brown and red check and sharp lapels give a touch of urban style to the country classic piece. As the longest coat in the brand’s collection, it adds extra warmth to the lower leg, while concealed side zips mean it can be easily adjusted for freedom for movement and to create an elegant silhouette with added swing in the skirt. Layer over everything from casual off-duty looks to more polished suiting and cinch the belt at the waist for a flattering fit – the perfect coat for myriad fall looks.
