Just received my visa statement. I was charged 2300 for the frank Hurley photographers jacket not the 1797 approx sale price.also I was charged 1800 for the Pilot jacket.the sale price was 1360 approx.the pilot jacket was listed as 1960 and on sale for 1360 that’s why I bought it savings 500 dollars.the Frank Hurley photographers jacket was listed 2600 approx.sale price 1797 approx.savings 500 dollars that’s why I bought them. But I was charged 2300 for the Frank Hurley photographers jacket & charged 1800 dollars for the pilot jacket.

I purchased the escape expedition jacket. Fits good and keeps the could out no problem, love the fact it’s highly water repellent and that’s the reason I bought it. I’m not sure you can call this jacket breathable, when I’m walking the dogs in it I sweat quite a bit. The customer service is TERRIBLE!!! I have tried emailing them because they NEVER answer the phone and to my surprise they don’t reply to emails either! A big let down since it’s supposed to be a prestige company with clothing that costs a lot!

The products that these guys create are absolutely world class. The quality of material, fit and finish are superb. Communication is fast and friendly. It's also great to be able to support a small and innovative business instead of a huge multi-national.

Having purchased many items from Shackleton the quality and craftsmanship that goes into the design of every garment is consistently superior. I do lots of outdoor hill walking all over and of all the different brands I have worn for such activity Shackleton clothing is my first choice. To match this they have outstanding Customer Service with attention to detail that reflects the brands core ethos, that makes you feel truly valued as a Customer which is rare these days! Buy nice or buy twice.

Very shabby at the moment, hopefully things will get better.

Explorer Jacket Warning; This jacket is NOT rainproof. I appreciate that a waxed cotton garment is never going to be comparable to a manmade fiber equivalent and one may have to accept some water ingress in poor weather conditions especially in areas of movement or friction (eg shoulders etc). I bought this jacket in January and on the fourth time I used it I was caught in a light rain shower during a 20 minute dog walk. On getting home I noticed my shoulders were damp. Closer inspection revealed that water had readily soaked through to the inside of the cotton fabric in all areas that had got wet during the brief spell of rain. I wrote to Shackleton to explain and I also asked about their returns/refund procedure. In their reply they state that the Explorer Jacket is NEITHER WINDPROOF NOR WATERPROOF ! And that I would not get a refund. I have carefully re-read the description and it is fair to say that there are no claims as to if this jacket is rainproof, but I feel the implication is there because of the high praise given about the cotton material used in manufacture and phrases such as 'An excellent all season companion'. This garnment is clearly more a fashion item than outdoor clothing.

Bought a Rothera jacket. Beautiful piece of equipment, build quality is superb. Probably the best jacket I’ve worn, comfort, freedom of movement, everything is 100%. Can not recommend it enough.

Epic. The coat was as described, fits like a charm, measures true to size and I look forward to many years service.

Love the products and the history behind the brand, I. Ought a haakron jacket a few weeks ago, but didn’t get the internal jacket as the advert suggested. On contacting customer service, they said they were wrong and they would upgrade and send me another base jacket, to this day not heard a thing , which I’m very disappointed about. Customer service is very very slow.

I ordered two jackets and have tried to send one back. After 4 emails I had no response. Zero communication despite the returns policy saying that I could return. Eventually spike to a person at the London store - found number online. Poor after sales.

I bought a very expensive pair of socks. Cost plus shipping is quite an investment for a pair of socks. They are bulky and warm - good for boots in very cold weather or as house slippers but impractical for everyday use. Also - they stretch out after the first use and tend to slide down your legs and bunch up in the boot. Have to admit I'm a little disappointed with this purchase.

1. The recently bought a belt, the 'centenary', is only but a shadow of the previous one which I still use and like. 2. As a big fan of Shackleton's quality knitwear, now I cannot find anything of interest bar the Hero model - much loved. Particularly I regret the absence of the Nimrod:-) 3. Finally, the last and least, lack of any guidance for the overseas customer as to the total cost of import so one is left at the mercy of local duty agencies. Best regards Artur

The quality of the products are second to none. I'm extremely impressed with my new Rothera hooded down jacket. My only grumble is I paid £525 to preorder it and I looked in the shop its now £450. £75 difference in just a few weeks peeved me abit. Regards Stuart Allward

Had to return the first item because I ordered the wrong size. Slight delay in sending out the replacement but I was given a free scarf to compensate. No hesitation in recommending Shackleton - nice people, good customer service and excellent products.
