If you're not on the high seas or hitting the slopes this season then chances are you'll be braving the elements for some traditional country pursuits. And, just as a regatta requires a good sailing jacket, so fishing, riding and shooting require the right gear for the whatever the great outdoors can throw at you. Whether it’s fair or foul out, look fine in the field with Robert Johnston’s cool country kit...
