Classic Attire for the Town and Country Gentleman
A History of Country Clothing for Men
From humble origins, country clothing was created by farmers, for farmers. Each piece of clothing that was curated as part of the country style was once picked for its endurance and versatility, to help farmers endure the varied weather and landscapes in the UK.
Style Inspiration for Country Clothing
Our royal family is well known for embodying the British clothing style in the eye of the media. Princess Anne has also recently been named ‘the chicest woman in the world’, her style has even inspired Fendi for their Spring/Summer 24 Catwalk. Princess Anne is known to re-wear her outfits and is often practical over ‘pretty’ when it comes to her style, so it's no surprise she is the icon of British country clothing. If you want more style inspiration look no further than your local farmers and countrymen, these styles are still worn day in and day out due to their reliability and longevity.
Menswear Experts
James Meade is a British outfitter of traditional classic attire for the town and country gentleman. Proud of our heritage, we have been designing, making and selling high-quality classic menswear for over 35 years. Our collection is especially tailored with the more mature gentleman in mind and our design techniques reflect this. We care about giving our customers the very best purchasing experience, from great customer service to receiving superb quality clothing with an excellent fit.
Our dedicated team of in-house menswear experts search internationally for the finest quality fabrics at the best possible prices. This allows us to provide you with a complete menswear collection to meet your needs.
Versatile Clothing for both Town and Country
An established mail-order company, our customers stretch all the way to the other side of the World. But closer to home, we recognise that because our designs are deliberately classic and timeless, our menswear collection is just as appealing to the man living in town as it is to the man living more rural and further out ‘in the country’.
The Mature Man
For most mature men, age does play a role in personal style. This doesn’t mean dressing like a younger man, it means ‘dressing well for a man your age’. Wearing suits will likely have less importance as dressing for comfort becomes more of a priority. At James Meade, our experienced team is passionate about helping our customers achieve that desired comfort without compromising on style.
Exclusive Designs Our multitasking men’s separates are exclusively designed to accommodate the mature man’s changing shape. It can be tempting to just buy a larger size from brands who do not specialise in mature clothing, however, this can lead to clothing looking baggy and unflattering.
Properly fitted clothing will allow you to go about your day confident that whatever you may have planned (walking the dog, visiting grandchildren, attending an event or taking a weekend break), you look smart and feel comfortable.
The Finest Fabrics Choosing the correct fabric for the right time of year is also important. Our menswear collection will have you covered all year round. Lighter fabrics in the summer and heavier fabrics in the winter. Our men’s chinos, tropical-weight cotton trousers and men’s cotton mix shirts are very popular in the summer months.
Throughout winter, however, our customers update their wardrobes with warmer clothing. This includes men’s thermal underwear, men’s cotton and wool mix shirts, corduroy, cashmere, merino wool and lambswool.
A Brand You Can Trust
It is becoming harder to find great quality men’s clothing for the mature man at a reasonable price on the high street. This is why so many of our customers return to us time and time again, to a specialist brand they can trust. A brand that strives to make your buying experience as easy, enjoyable and personalised as possible; a brand that will not compromise on fine quality and exceptional customer service.
Our Dedication to Preserving British Heritage
James Meade is British-based and British-designed. We pull our inspiration from the vast and varied landscapes and weather patterns we call home in the lake district. To celebrate the social fabric of British tailoring is something we take immense pride in, each fisherman jumper we knit and tattersall shirt we sew, we hope to share the rich tapestry that makes up country clothing.
