Lenny or Duncan?

An odd question you may think, but it’s actually referring to our 2 new Trapper Hats which were just made for this cold wintry weather. Both have adjustable ear flaps and faux fur trim to keep your ears toasty not just your head for only £9.50!

Lenny is designed for the cold with a waxed poly/cotton and faux fur head piece. The ear flaps fold down to keep you snug and warm and there’s a fully quilted lining. Ear flaps just fold upwards and slide clip fasten when not required.

Duncan is a whole different ball game! A fun geometric design outer that shouts I’m game for a laugh and would suit him or her! Flaps are adjustable so you can just tie them up if your ears get too hot or if you just want a change of style.

If you’re not off trapping and you’d prefer something more traditional then we’ve got our Corduroy Flat Cap in black, navy or olive green at £7 or our Tweed Flat Cap for £9.

Great Festive Gift Ideas

There’s a whole new range of great gift ideas at Jolliman and not just the faithful Knitwear. Well, let’s face it Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without getting a jumper under the tree! So we've got V-neck Argyll Sweaters for only £17 or a full range of Tootal knitwear starting from £17.

If you are looking for something that doesn’t cost the earth but will look like you’ve spent a bob or 2 we’ve got Hand Made Silk Ties with a little extra pizzazz for only £14, or how about our selection of faux fur trimmed Trapper Hats – Duncan, for those of you who like to make a statement, or Lenny are both only £9.50 each!

One of my favourites of the Christmas faithful is our selection of cotton rich HJ Hall Horizontal Stripe Socks. Available in 6 snazzy colour combos for only £5 per pair. The only problem you’ll have is deciding which colour to choose. I’m loving the Yellow/Red pictured – it’s definitely on my shopping list.

Bauble & Bangles & Bright Shiny Beads…..

OK not quite that, but we do have new Cufflinks, Scarves and Hats on the website along with some super snazzy Socks for the ideal Christmas stocking fillers.

Our new range of Cufflinks are all presented in a stylish chrome-look, velveteen lined presentation case. They look a million dollars, but will only set you back £10. With 25 styles to chose from we think that you’ll find a pair to suit whoever you are buying for – even if it’s for you!

Pictured here are my personal favourites, the Love Knot, but we’ve got many more from classic to contemporary and novelty to patriotic designs.

Not much that you can buy for under a tenner today, but how about this fantastic hat, glove and scarf set. Perfect to treat yourself or as a gift to warm someone’s cockles and only £9!

Ordinary hats and gloves are all well and good until they get damp. These won’t! Lined with 40gm Thinsulate to keep your body heat in and but won’t absorb water. The polyester outer is thin, making the gloves in particular, easy and practical to wear.

It brought a smile to our model’s face and we hope that all of this for only £9 will make you just as happy!

The nights are drawing in....

The nights are drawing in and getting a nasty little nip to them. So put away that plain cotton nightwear and get hold of some of our cosy Brushed Cotton Nightwear. My personal favourites are the Paisley Pyjamas which are available in 3 colours for £20 or 2 for £36, a saving of £4. Great for lounging around as well as sleeping in, once you are in them you’ll never want to take them off!

Team them with our Patio Slippers with outdoor soles, a bargain at only £11 and you’ll feel as happy as Rupert with your morning cuppa.

If you absolutely must get dressed, then make sure you’ve got a thermal base layer if you’re off out and about. We’ve got British made High Cross Thermal Vest and Thermal Long Johns from £7.

If thermal is a step too far just yet, then maybe you’d prefer the High Cross 100% Cotton Interlock Singlet, Trunks and Briefs to keep the chill away. Stylish, comfortable and British, what more could you ask for?

Lincoln Cords are back….

We’ve taken delivery of some of the classic Jolliman autumn winter best sellers so come fill your boots….

Lincoln Cords look great with our famous Long Sleeve Tattersall Shirt and a Tootal V-neck Sweater. To complete the look invest in something from our new Belts range which are proving incredibly popular.

You really don't want to miss the new range of products that have been lovingly put together for you!

I can't wait to give you more product spoilers – I hope that you are excited as we all are here at Jolliman.

Action Trousers in Route 66

We received a fantastic email from a customer this week which is a ringing endorsement of the Regatta Action Trouser. Here is a slightly shortened version of what Mr Roger L. Wood had to say to us.

Earlier this year I purchased 2 pairs of Regatta Action Trousers for £30. What an excellent buy they were! Their intended purpose was to provide comfort and durability when I travelled to America and drove…Route 66 and beyond. Over the 10 weeks of our journey I alternated the 2 pairs, washing them numerous times at many hotels and motels across the country.They seem to stay clean for an unbelievable length of time and look good whether I walked in a small town diner or a more sophisticated establishment. They didn’t crease or go baggy at the knees and dried quickly if they got splashed at any time. So at £15 a pair, an absolute bargain! If these trousers can stand 10 weeks …over a combined distance of 10,000 miles, it says a great deal about the quality of the product.THE ONLY TROUSERS ABLE TO COPE WITH ROUTE 66…AND STILL LOOK GOOD

If you were ever in doubt about the quality or value for money of these trousers, I think that this will convince you that you need to add some of these to your wardrobe now. Whether you’re planning an expedition or a short trip the Regatta Action Trousers are the only trousers you’ll ever need and now they are available in black too, there really is no excuse!

Winter Photo-Shoot

It’s been a busy week at Jolliman as we prepare to jet off (well drive) to Devon for our Winter photo-shoot. It seems like only yesterday that we finished the Summer shoot in snow and rain and now we’re off to shoot Winter in a heat-wave!

I’m taking a camera this time to try to capture some of the feeling of the shoot and hopefully we'll get something that we can add to the blog to give you a taste of what we do to ensure that we get the best images possible on the site.

We had a great time at our fitting session with our 2 new models, Paul and Mark. It was great to see how good the new Autumn/Winter lines look and now we just have to keep our fingers crossed that you like them as much as we do.

We’re introducing new Knitwear to supplement our classic Tootal knitwear range and a selection of new jackets from casual to formal. We’re keeping some of the more interesting new lines a secret so that we can surprise you! Well everyone loves a surprise don’t they?

Back to the DIY & Gardening

With England out of the World Cup there’s no excuse not to get on with all of those DIY and Gardening jobs that you’ve been putting off. We can’t do anything to help you get over the sorry display from our boys, but we can help you get those jobs done a bit quicker and in style!

Visit our DIY and Gardening dept where you’ll find products from the ever popular Stone and Decking Cleaner to the Deluxe Garden Kneeler so that you can clean your stone work in comfort. If it’s weeds that have you pulling your hair out then why not use the Weed Wizard, the eco-friendly way to weed.

And what are you going to wear while you get your jobs done, well how about our Regatta Action trousers which are now available in black – yes that’s BLACK! We know you’ll all be really excited about this addition to the range as we were receiving orders before we had an image on the site! Well I guess it’s one of those styles that you don’t need to see to know that you are getting amazing quality at an unbelievable price.

The Autumn/Winter photoshoot is coming up and we've got some new products and some reworked old favourites to work with and 2 new models so we're looking forward to trying to make the glorious sunshine look like autumn.

Round the Island Race

Well that’s it for me this week as I’m off to the Isle of Wight for the Round the Island Race. Suitably attired with my Panama Hat, to ensure that I don’t end up the colour of a beetroot, my Activity Gilet, for my camera bits and bobs, and my Regatta Zip Off Trousers I’m raring to go!

It’s an early start, so the Zip off trousers are ideal for the journey over to the island at 4am as I am sure that there’ll be a nip in the air. Then as soon as the sun’s up I can whip the legs off and enjoy the sun on my pins. Teamed with one of our Regatta Polo shirts I’ll be looking stylish and feeling cool and calm.

Cryptic cartoons

We have a mystery cartoon artist keeping us all amused at the Jolliman office this week. We can only assume that it is a happy customer who wants to return some of the joy that we’ve given them!

In the post this week we have received 2 pictures cut from a newspaper with someone’s comic musings added. No other messages contained and no name given. We’re all on tenterhooks waiting for the next instalment and debating whether they are publishable or not!

If you are that mystery cartoonist we’d all like to thank you and say keep them coming – we always appreciate a good laugh.

Don't forget it's only 10 days until Father's Day. You could take a leaf from the mystery cartooonists book and create your own work of art for your Dad, but why not check out our Accessories dept for jazzy braces or argyll socks. I'll be plumping for the Panama Style Hat , after all an outfit just isn't complete without a Panama.

Father’s Day

Father’s Day is fast arriving, so it’s time to treat your Dad. Make it useful or stylish by shopping with Jolliman.

One of our most popular lines at this time of year is a must for any gardening, fishing or DIY enthusiast – the Activity Gilet. Not only does it have pockets to go, it’s also got loops for hanging keys or tools! Your Dad will think that you’ve blown the budget, but at only £15 you won’t feel too big a dent in your wallet.

If your Dad prefers to more sedate way of life, then how about a pair of Patio Slippers for lounging in! With outdoor soles, if he needs to step out, there’s no need to change.

If you’d rather not buy clothing then have a wander around any of our Essentials departments where you’ll find non-clothing items from the Deluxe Garden Kneeler for only £19.97 to the Shirt & Trouser Caddy for £12.

There’s something for any Dad at Jolliman.

Pilots or Polos?

You’ll have to go a long way to find anything like our perennially popular mens polo shirts and Pilot shirts for sheer quality and value for money.

Our pilot shirts are handsomely styled with button down epaulettes and pockets and look equally smart with or without a tie. Perfect for work or leisure and available in 4 colours in sizes Medium to 7XL. Short sleeve pilots are £9 each or buy 2 for only £8 each. Long sleeve pilots are £10 or buy 2 for only £9 each.

Our mens polo shirts are made from a soft easy to wear poly/cotton yarn and finished with precise attention to detail. Available in long or short sleeve in sizes Medium to 7XL, they are superbly comfortable with plenty of room for flexing and stretching! Short sleeve polo is on £9 or buy 2 for £6 each. Long sleeve polo is £10 or buy 2 for £7 each.

So take your pick, we know you won’t be disappointed.

Holiday shop now open

We've put all our favourite summer products in the Holiday Shop department, so you can find them all in one place. This includes the new Regatta Zip-Off Trouser which is a must for every holiday and a bargain at only £25.

If you’re having a ‘staycation’ with our 4 seasons in one day weather, start in the day in trousers in the safe knowledge that as soon as the sun makes an appearance you can whip off the legs and make the most of it.

If you’re going abroad, wear them as a trouser for travelling and then zip-off to shorts when you arrive at your sunshine destination.

Made in a special washable poly/cotton fabric that is UV protected and water repellent. Multi pocketed with zip security pocket and part elasticated waist. If only all clothes were as versatile!

Jolliman spring clean

With all of our summer lines arriving in the warehouse we need to clear some space, or so my warehouse manager, Phil, keeps telling me! So I’ve added new lines to our Menswear Clearance and Essentials Clearance departments with up to 80% discount.

Farah Farenheits were £33 now only £16, that’s less than half price. Mens Country Jacket in size XL only £12 a saving of £18 on the original price. Short sleeve fil-a-fil shirt for a mere £1.66! There are bargains galore, but its 1st come 1st served and as stocks are low there is no time to delay.

Help me put a smile back on Phil’s face and bag a bargain too!

Summer already?

Our ‘Jolli’ customers are getting into the summer spirit with sales of shorts, short sleeve shirts and polo shirts on the up. Our devoted Regatta Action Trouser customers are moving to the Regatta Action Shorts option for the summer. For those of you who like to cover all the bases in one simple option, we will be adding a Regatta Zip-Off Trouser to the website within the next couple of weeks – so watch this space. Plus there will also be some Regatta footwear, so you’ll be able to kit yourself out whether you’re rambling or rock-pooling!

With the good weather the excuses for not mowing the lawn or sorting out the weeds are all gone. We’ve not only got your garden clothing covered, but you’ll also find lots of useful Garden and DIY accessories to help you get those jobs done.

So if like me the weekend ahead is booked out to lawn repair, weeding or cleaning out the shed, we’ve probably got something that’ll get those jobs done quicker so you can spend less time working and more time relaxing.

Summer Preview

Our Summer Preview catalogue will be hitting your doormats any day now and we’d be really interested to hear any comments you may have. There are some fantastic new products along with some re-vamped favourites!

It wouldn’t be summer without stripes, so we’ve got a Farah Striped Polo Shirt seen here on Gordon and available in Navy or Grey stripe. Team it with some Farah Summer Shorts and you’ve got the perfect semi-casual summer outfit.

If you prefer checks to stripes we’ve got a great selection of mens short sleeve check shirts, from a short sleeved version of our Famous Tattersall Shirt to the Broad Check Summer Shirt.

If it’s too early for shorts then we’ve still got a great range of trousers that are perfect for spring into summer from Cotton-Stretch Trousers to our best selling Regatta Action Trouser.

The blog is back

I’m back to blogging after spending a great deal of time working on the site re-design. We’ve not only changed colour, but we’ve also added new functions which we hope will make shopping at Jolliman a more enjoyable experience.

The new Summer Preview catalogue is just back from the printer so if you want to receive one and you’re not already registered with us you can click here to request a catalogue. Our new models Chris and Gordon give it a whole new flavour, but for those of you who are fans of Colin, he’s still in there!

You know that Summer is nearly here with the arrival of the new the new seasons mens fine gingham check shirt or the Jolliman Club Classic Jacket. But almost better than that our best selling Foldable Panama Hat, as modelled by Chris, has made a welcome reappearance. Its devastatingly stylish and works no matter where you are or what the occasion.

Oh what fun we had…..

The summer photo-shoot went by in a blur – of rain and below zero temperatures. Lucky for me I was able to wrap up warm, but our poor models in Farah Polo Shirts and short sleeve shirts really suffered for us. In fact on our last day we had to tell them to stop breathing so we didn’t get the steam from their breath in the shots! Our Summer Preview Catalogue will be available from 6th April so sign up now if you aren’t already on our mailing list.

We’re well into our Spring Sale and it’s keeping us all busy. Amongst the amazing offers that we currently have are 100% Cotton Polo Shirts. Cut from a substantial and very superior combed cotton: 220gram if we're going to talk technical, and exceptionally soft and enduringly handsome. They are smartly finished with contrast buttons and are available in 7 colours. As if all of that weren’t enough, if you buy 3 it will only cost you £15. (Single price £7 each.)

Team this polo shirt with our Regatta Action Trouser and you’ve got the ideal summer outfit. If we’re being more realistic for this time of year you can add to that either our Glastonbury Jacket currently in our sale for only £25, or any one of our wide range of men’s Regatta Jackets and you’ve got the perfect Spring outfit!

Spring Sale

It’s busy times at Jolliman, with our Spring Sale in full flow including some unbeatable prices on Clearance lines. There has never been a better time to have a look around the online store.

In the Sale department you’ll find Farah Classics with a £9 saving and let’s face it your wardrobe just isn’t complete without a pair of these.

The Clearance department is full of items with limited stocks, so if you don’t visit us soon you’ll miss offers like the Farah Fairway Shirt for only £10, a saving of £19, or our Suede Trimmed Sweater for £9, a saving of £13!

This week the photo-shoot for our Summer catalogue begins. As I look out of the window at the lashing wind and rain this morning, I’m worried! The saving grace for me is that I can at least be assured of staying warm and dry on the shoot as I’ll be taking advantage of the Regatta Ladieswear. The Breathable 3 in 1 jacket and the Packaway Trousers should cover all eventualities.

Outdoor clothing sales spike thanks to cold weather

Cold weather conditions and heavy snowfall across the UK has resulted in a huge boost for outdoor clothing retailers.

Regatta, one of the country’s leading outdoor clothing brands said that it had recorded a 30% increase in turnover for December 2009 in comparison to the same period last year. The company believes that a large part of this was due to the recent sub-zero temperatures.

Top selling items of clothing for the winter period include waterproof insulated jackets, fleece lined clothing, overtrousers, waterproof jackets and trousers, hats, scarves, socks, gloves, thermal underwear and boots.

The UK Press Association reports that Richard Cotter, brand president of outdoor clothing supplier Berghaus said “We enjoyed a very busy end to 2009 and that trend is continuing”.

Louise Ramsay, chief executive of the Outdoor Industries Association, warned consumers that appropriate winter clothing was a necessity in the adverse temperatures.
“As temperatures continue to plummet it is really important that members of the public who have to go outside are properly equipped” she said. “If for any reason you get caught outside –or in your car – in the worst conditions, you could seriously regret not investing in garments that use genuine cold weather performance materials and construction techniques”

Beat the chill in Tootal Knitwear

Tootal knitwear is the epitome of stylish and comfortable knitwear for men. Our range includes sleeveless to full sleeve cardigans, v-neck sweaters, zipsters and slipovers in a range of colours to suit any occasion.

Produced using soft high quality wool that is machine washable at 40 degrees, you can be certain of ease of movement and comfort as well as easy care.

The V-neck sweater is knitted to a traditional design with ribbed neck, cuff and hem and works perfectly together with the Tattersall shirt and Lincoln Cords pictured.

The Sleeveless Cardigan bridges the gap between a sweater and a jacket and is perfect for any formal or informal occasions.

The ideal antidote for the cold weather!

Happy New Year

I'm writing this blog with a sense of déjà vu. My last blog before Christmas centred around the pre-Christmas snow and here I am again in the New Year and we have the post-Christmas snow to contend with! There is a possibility that this has been affecting our deliveries to you as all of the postal services and couriers struggle to get about the country. Rest assured that we are working flat out in the warehouse to get orders despatched as quickly as possible, but unfortunately we can’t control the weather.

Some of you will already have received our New Year catalogue. If you are not registered and would like to order a catalogue from us you can click on the Request a Catalogue link at the bottom right of this page. The catalogue is full of our best selling lines, a selection of some of the fantastic Ladies Regatta products that we now have available online plus plenty of useful non-clothing lines.

The Universal Knob Turner, which is new to us this season, is a simple tool for helping turn small knobs, taps, deadbolts or gas caps, a must for every home!

One of my other favourites is the Heated Towel Airer which is particularly useful in the current climate. I know that it's for drying your washing, but why not try warming your clothes on it in the morning, after all who enjoys putting on cold clothes!

So here's wishing you a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year from all of us at Jolliman.
