It is a British fly-fishing brand with deep roots in the sport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis brother {{John James}} soon joined, and the partnership expanded under the name {{Hardy Brothers}}. Over time, their passion shifted from firearms to fishing tackle, giving rise to the art of tackle-making—a fusion of English craftsmanship and engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the twentieth century, the company underwent several transformations, adopting the name {{House of Hardy Ltd.}} in 1985 and {{Hardy \u0026 Greys Ltd.}} in 2004.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the late 1980s, {{Hardy}} acquired a quilting and waxed garment factory, increasing its in-house production of apparel. The brand excelled at translating field-tested function into understated design, creating fleeces, shirts, and pragmatic outerwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e{{Hardy}} maintains a distinguished connection to the royal family, having held numerous Royal Warrants since the twentieth century. In recent years, a new Royal Warrant from King {{Charles III}} was announced, reaffirming the brand's standing as a leading British tackle house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tool company making everyday wear. It is precisely this positioning that makes the pieces viable for town wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe present to you a signature wading jacket from {{House of Hardy}}.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wading jacket is, by its essential nature, a functional short-length outer garment designed for fly-fishing—cast made whilst standing in moving water. The abbreviated length avoids the waterline at the waist; deep pockets facilitate quick access to necessary gear; and the design prioritises weatherproofing, wind resistance, and freedom of movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example remains faithful to that lineage. Raglan sleeves ensure full shoulder mobility, whilst the front closure employs a two-part system: snap-button storm flap over a dual {{YKK}} zip. By opening only the lower zip, one can create ventilation and adjust mobility with precision according to conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge flapped pockets sit at the lower front, left and right, with ample capacity for fly boxes and gloves. The left pocket bears a woven label reading \"{{House of Hardy country wear}}.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cuffs are engineered with a two-stage system: internal snap tabs and stretching gauntlets that ward off water and wind whilst allowing two-position adjustment. An internal drawcord running along the hem maintains warmth even in strong wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA substantial D-ring sits at the back neckline—a fishing-house detail allowing one to suspend a landing net or other gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the collar, a {{HOUSE OF HARDY}} brand label. The tag reads \"MADE IN ENGLAND,\" confirming this piece was produced in Britain. The Royal Warrant notation—\"BY APPOINTMENT TO H.R.H. THE PRINCE OF WALES\"—speaks to the robust construction of its era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear it with a shirt, slacks, and leather shoes, collar raised, lower zip half-open. There is something deeply appealing about approaching the outdoors through the grammar of tailoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe invite you to discover your own equilibrium between the outdoor and the formal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is constructed entirely of nylon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLightweight and quick-drying, it offers a crisp, dry hand against the skin, whilst its tightly woven composition gives the silhouette structural integrity. True to its waterside heritage, it sheds spray and light rain, dries rapidly, and keeps pace with whatever comes next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe checked lining inside enhances skin comfort and creates an air layer for lasting ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material choices, grounded in function, create a piece equally reliable in the city or outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour is a deep teal green—not often encountered. It carries a trace of blue in what is fundamentally a forest green, appearing fresh in natural light and settling into a composed dark tone indoors. The subtle sheen of the nylon creates an effect reminiscent of water's shimmer, with gradations of tone delicately following seams and fold lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA charcoal-brown collar provides a warm contrast, whilst the muted lustre of metal hardware deepens the overall tone. The teal, infused with the air of open water, imparts refinement to the utilitarian spirit of workwear and outdoor function, commanding a assured presence even in urban setting. It is a colour of rare restraint and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarked size M, roughly equivalent to M to L in Japanese sizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe actual measurements align well with Japanese proportions, offering a versatile fit for a range of builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is visible wear consistent with use, though no damage that would impair wearing. The piece remains entirely serviceable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e{{HOUSE OF HARDY}}—a British fly-fishing heritage. Details refined through actual fishing remain entirely relevant on the street. It is a considered piece, increasingly difficult to locate, and with its short length and dual-zip practicality, it becomes a reliable presence in one's wardrobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the field, straight to the street. Please experience the moment when function becomes beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VIEUX ET NOUVEAU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46571214438578,"sku":"J01011","price":0.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/2140\/3314\/files\/202505030087.jpg?v=1763728950","url":"https:\/\/vieuxetnouveau-shop.com\/en\/products\/90s-house-of-hardy-nylon-wading-jacket-size-m","provider":"VIEUX ET NOUVEAU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
