In recent years, few names have stirred as much excitement in the world of British workwear as &SONS (andsons)

From dry canvas that shrugs off the wind, to classic corduroy with a soft hand feel, to denim overshirts that age beautifully with wear, each fabric brings its own character.

Whether you’re carrying tools, gear, or just the day’s essentials, there’s a growing recognition that function doesn’t have to come wrapped in plastic. Waxed canvas offers something synthetic bags can’t: timeless durability, weather resistance, and character.

In the hills of Wales, the woods of Kent, or the Highlands of Scotland, you’ll spot them—men dressed not in fluorescent techwear or shiny Gore-Tex shells, but in waxed cotton jackets, canvas overshirts, and leather boots that look like they’ve lived a few lives.
