The oldest ones were made in Serbia. The more recent ones are made in China, just like Hunters, so the quality and durability may not be anything to write home about. I prefer Le Chameau - they last years.
That is interesting to know thanks. I am on Aigles now, they last a lot longer, and made in france, as I imagine your Le Chameau's are. My first pair of Aigles lasted 3 years of 200 days a year use, they cost about 30% more than the tatt now sold by barbour.
@@DorkyThorpy : Le Chameau are made in Morocco, and have been since the 1960s at least. They used to have a second factory in Normandy, but this was shut down by Marwyn, the British "investment" group, when they bought the brand in 2012 and started cost-cutting almost immediately.
@@DorkyThorpy : it tends to happen when "management" takes over. They're obsessed with cost-cutting, so they never stand back and see the damage they ultimately do....
@@DorkyThorpy yes the UK factory only produces the high-end wax jackets, it also carries out the repair service where you can have small and major repairs done or have your jacket re waxed. The vast majority of other products are all produced abroad including their entire footwear range, shirts and jumpers etc.
@@guywilloughby3383 I think their stuff, should have the country of manufacture printed clearly on the packaging at least. I have taken advantage of their re-waxing service in the past, a nice option. Buffalo Systems also offer repairs and are made in UK: www.buffalosystems.co.uk/ their "shirts" go great under a barbour on a cold day.
They are wider than my Aigles, I have quite a slim calf, and can fit boot socks and trousers in side too. If you have big calf perhaps go for brand with a "gusset". www.jileon.com/ do wellies for super big calf.
Well looking on Welly Boots and Packing I can see no other reference than "of South-Shields" (UK). But no where does it say "Made in England". So not clear really - I have contacted customer services to find out.
