Win fabulous items from the latest collection from John Partridge

A name synonymous with stylish outdoor wear, John Partridge has joined forces with AGA Living to offer readers the chance to win fabulous items from the latest collection.
Along established brand specialising in country lifestyle products, John Partridge can date half of its origins
back to 1896 (the duffel coat part) and half to the swinging 60s (the country clothing part) and in that time the company has always maintained a justifiable reputation as the finest maker of British lifestyle clothing, producing not just wax jackets but waterproofs, tweeds, leather and a wide range of leisure wear. As well as traditional lines, there are updated classics like the Lichfield quilted jacket and modern interpretations of country lifestyle.

The fabrics are all European waxed cotton and tweeds from Scotland, duffel fabrics and nylons fromItaly. Unlike many of its competitors John Partridge makes most of its clothing here in the UK. Waxed cotton coats, tweeds and duffels are all made by hand in this country. Handmaking is defined where the skill of the tailor can make a significant difference to each and every garment. John Partridge guarantees that each jacket or coat sold is a unique and well loved handwork of a committed tailor.

What makes a John Partridge product stand out from the crowd is their unique lifetime guarantee. Every product is guaranteed to provide exemplary service suitable to the style and format of each individual product. Each product is designed to get better with every passing day, taking on the shape and feel of each individual customer. Ever wondered why your new coat doesn't feel as good as your old one? That's because classic materials grow around your shape through wear, heat and cold and the odd downpour. Every John Partridge product moulds to you. Give it a little time and it will soon become your firm favourite.
