For those who love spending time outdoors, whether that’s walking the dog, working on the land, or simply enjoying a country stroll, the key to staying comfortable is all about layering.
At Watermans Country Supplies, we know that the right clothing can make all the difference on those crisp autumn days, keeping you warm and cosy to enjoy every moment.
Why Layering Matters
Autumn weather can be unpredictable, so it is best to be able to take off layers easily, without the bulk of a big coat, or one large jumper. Especially if you are busy working, you should be able to stay comfortable in the changing conditions, from staying warm without overheating, and protecting yourself from sudden showers.
The Base Layer
Start with a lightweight, breathable base layer. A good thermal top or long-sleeve cotton shirt is ideal, keeping warmth close to your skin while allowing moisture to escape.
Perfect for active equestrians, the Hy Equestrian Synergy Base Layer,is made from a stretch fabric for ultimate comfort and flexibility whilst in the saddle.
With mesh panels for a streamlined look and for optimum breathability for when it’s needed most. Completed with silver detailing for a classy finish.
Avoid heavy materials that trap sweat, as comfort is key when you’re active outdoors. With a wide range of base layers perfect for a range of activities, you can find your perfect start to any outfit here.
Mid Layer for Comfort
Your mid layer is all about insulation. Fleece jackets, wool jumpers, or quilted gilets are excellent options for locking in heat without restricting movement.
A gilet, in particular, is a versatile piece, keeping your core warm while leaving arms free for work or walking.
The Ridgeline Men's Kodiac Smokey Olive Fleece Smock is a great choice to keep you warm through autumn, and to the winter months.
Made from our highly technical Southern Star 340 Pro fleece, our Kodiak Smock is a warm, windproof, showerproof pull-on for the cold, damp winter conditions that are typical of the UK’s temperate climate.
It features a deep fleece hood with volume adjustments to offer full protection in driving winds. A rugged elasticated drawcord at the hem cinches in the smock to seal in the heat and fine-tune the fit.
Even your dogs don’t need to feel the cold, they can wrap up with a cosy jumper too!
From Firefoot, this Purple Dog Fleece is made from soft, breathable fleece fabric. It provides excellent insulation without restricting movement, ensuring your dog stays comfortable and free to play. The rich purple colour adds a vibrant touch, while the easy-to-wear design makes it simple to slip on and off.
The Outer Layer for Weather Protection
Autumn often brings cold rain showers, so a reliable waterproof jacket is essential. We carry a wide range, suitable for all the family from men, women, and children.
A jacket with a hood and adjustable cuffs will help shield you against wind and rain while ensuring comfort throughout the day.
Our Ridgeline Monsoon Classic Bark Smock is the perfect choice for versatility, keeping you dry, warm, and protected during busy outdoor days.
Offering the characteristic “New Zealand cut”, our Monsoon Classic Smock is an overhead design with our signature scooped back. The rugged front zip extends all the way to the waist making the smock straight-forward to put on, or remove, and features chunky zip-pullers for ease of use with gloves or mitts.
The large, flap-protected chest pocket offers plenty of storage space for work or outdoor essentials, and two zipped lower pockets provide convenience.
For women, our Hoggs of Fife Ladies Walker Long Green Coat is one of our best sellers.
