While many keen shots will be familiar with E.J. Churchill for their sporting agency and expertly crafted guns, there is another part of the 127-year-old British business that all straight (and not so straight) shooters adore. They’re also country outfitters, bringing together style, elegance and functionality in the shooting gear they have on their shelves.
As we head into the depth of the shooting season, it’s the perfect time to make sure you’ve got all the kit you need next time you’re on a drive…
Crow & Jester tweed
Wherever you’re going on your next autumn shoot, you’ll be turning heads for all the right reasons if you don this elegant Crombie Coat, designed by prolific shots Sir Edward Dashwood and Robert Fenwick and available exclusively through E.J. Churchill. Beautifully tailored with an adjustable back strap to ensure it fits you just right, and with eye-catching details like a suede collar, you’ll certainly be arriving in style.
Royal flush buster
Ok, so you’re not two-gunning it today; it’s just you and your trusted shotgun against some of the fastest birds in England. The flush buster from E.J. Churchill is your best friend when it comes to these situations.
Acting as your walking stick between drives and your fast loader when at the peg, this is the most useful of tools when pitting yourself against the best Mother Nature has to throw at you.
E.J. Churchill Mens Loden Shooting Waistcoat
If you like to send a lot of lead downrange then you’ll need to carry a lot of shells from peg to peg. Why not do it in a stylish and elegant way with the E.J. Churchill Loden shooting waistcoat? It helps that you’ll be able to carry up to 100 shells in these deep pockets.
Made in England using hard-wearing traditional materials, this will quickly become the first thing you reach for when you’re invited to your next shoot.
Detachable double gun slip
So you’ve just graduated to the big leagues, you’re about to go on your first drive two-gunning. But you can’t use just the one slip for both of your shotguns. You (or your loader) can look the part courtesy of this matching detachable leather gun slip made by E.J. Churchill. These are made using fantastic quality saddle leather and come fully fleece-lined.
E.J. Churchill Loading pouches
If you need even more shells at your disposal then there is only one way to do it – with the E.J. Churchill loading pouches. Waterproof and made in South Africa with the finest leather, having these strapped around your waist will mean you’ve got an extra 200 shells at your fingertips.
E.J. Churchill Mens waterproof shooting jacket
Last but by no means least, it goes without saying that as those clouds close in, you’ll be glad you wore your finest waterproof. Now is not the time to be reaching for an umbrella. Keep both hands free with this Gore-Tex-lined, fully waterproof shooting jacket from E.J. Churchill.
Designed by Sir Edward Dashwood and Robert Fenwick, this jacket can also hold an addition 150 shells and comes with right and left-handed shoulder pads.
