Buffalo special 6 with hood. I've got coats for every season but the special 6 is good year round. The only issue with mine is the pile is flat and see through in places, it has been a favourite since 2003 though!

Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Red that sheepskin waistcoat is smart as!
Barbour waxed moorland jacket has been through the roughest of stuff and never let me down, I do find it cold when the snow hits the ground though, so I swap for something synthetic, never really found a decent synthetic jacket though!
Recommended on here was the Dickies Portland Shirt, I got one then some spare as they are unlike any other work shirt I have had, they are well made and twice as thick!
Hoggs of Fife moleskin trousers are pretty much the Maglite of the trouser world, everyone has them and you can see why, bombproof!
Le Chameau willies are like nothing you have had on your feet, comfort and warmth without any of the pitfalls of the cheaper neoprene ones that last 1/4 as long!

Haven't seen the "Portland" but +1 to Dickies in general; and specifically to their work shirts (all of their work shirts) and work jeans.
Same here - so good that when I lost one, I bought another!
No itching, can wear it for days on end and as warm as can be!

Full set of mountain equipment coop. Waterproofs. Goretex jacket, bibbed goretex trousers and goretex mitts. All bought in the year 2000 so 13 years old and and still going strong. 3 ply goretex so quite sturdy clothing. I do look after them but only ever use them when out hiking in bad weather so not a massive amount of wear and tear in them.

That's a very difficult question and it would have to be a toss up between my waxed stockman jacket and by Barma fold up leather bush hat.
Both keep me dry in bad weather and though the jacket also keeps me warm its quite bulky whereas the hat fits in a pocket but only helps my head!

My cowboy boots. They have been worn every day for 3 years now through mud and all kinds of weather, still polish up beautifully! And also ridiculously comfortable. £150 well spent.
Mine is easy- a Swanddri Mosgiel jacket and a set of Arcteryx Alpha SV salopettes and Alpha LT jacket.

Buffalo 6 shirt and by bison bush shirt it's a toss up between the two. Would hate to part with any if them
Buffalo shirt. Add the hood and they are perfect. I also have a possum/merino zip neck jumper which is fantastic. Super warm for the weight.
+ 1 to that - buy once and the lifetime guarantee is for real ... when you wear it out , post it back and they send you a new one for just the price of p&p!
I have worn out a few and have never had to pay for replacements
They even send you the old one back as a memento if you ask

LOL. I see MUCH abuse in that policy. I had a cousin who bought old, worn out Tupperware at garage sales (boot sales to y'all) for a nickel or so each and had Tupperware replace them with new ones free.
