What to know about Kestin
Built for Scottish weather
Field jackets, parkas and overshirts in weather-resistant fabrics, with wool and technical trousers to match — outerwear is the core of the range.
Founder trained under British heritage names
Kestin Hare worked at Nigel Cabourn, Margaret Howell and Burberry before launching in 2014, and the vintage-pattern research shows in the cuts.
Small runs, UK and Europe
Production stays in the UK and Europe in limited quantities, which explains the mid-to-high pricing more than any seasonal trend cycle does.
