Finisterre

I love this company, Finisterre often makes me reflect why I needed to move away from the South West in the first place, as they have embraced where they are from and created a success.... the products are great – at Christmas I went on the obligatory walk, and it was bitterly cold... I was wearing their Etobicoke, which is the lightest jacket I've ever worn, and even when it is blowing a gale, you get that weird sensation because your body just doesn't feel any of the elements - the wind just stops... but everyone kept asking me if I was okay, as my jacket was so lightweight, when I was probably warmer than them.

The other great thing about them is the thought they put into each product, and even have a video about each one... and when you order something and have a query, you know that you'll get a personal response from one of the team.

Just as importantly they think about the effects making their products in relation to their labour conditions... So if you want something super warm, that defies peoples expectations, and of course as it always should be, made by Portuguese nuns, then pre-order a Humboldt today
