Most of the garments were made at an amazing London factory, allowing us to keep a close eye on quality and move quickly through the sampling and sealing stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brief from The Sloane Club team was directionally clear, leaving us the freedom \u2013 and trust \u2013 to create a collection that truly felt like them. That trust was invaluable, and the relationship throughout was warm, collaborative and energising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"401\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"16018\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_13_2055_FINAL-copy-401x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_13_2055_FINAL-copy-401x600.jpg 401w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_13_2055_FINAL-copy-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_13_2055_FINAL-copy.jpg 601w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"16019\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_14_2441_FINAL-copy-1-480x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_14_2441_FINAL-copy-1-480x600.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_14_2441_FINAL-copy-1-320x400.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_14_2441_FINAL-copy-1.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What emerged was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/case-study-designing-uniforms-for-the-sloane-club-2-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fashion-forward collection<\/a> designed to work hard and stand the test of time. The androgynous tailored trousers were an immediate favourite with both the team and our models \u2013 a great sign of longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m hugely proud of what we achieved under such pressure, and I\u2019m excited for the collaborations ahead.

Prior to the 2010s, their look had been much more formal, but over time it had softened into casual attire. The brief was to bring back the nostalgia, making the uniform a key part of the \u201cretro\u201d dining experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking inspiration from 1930s team uniforms \u2013 and from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/sneak-peek-3-field-grey-projects-set-to-launch-in-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Harry Ramsden<\/a> himself \u2013 I designed a longline double-breasted waistcoat to add drama and polish, paired with a red knitted tie in the brand\u2019s signature shade. Worn with a crisp white shirt and black trousers, the look feels rooted in heritage without slipping into costume. It\u2019s memorable, distinctive and genuinely elevates both the team and the guest experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The uniforms launched on a bank holiday, celebrated with 7p portions of fish and chips \u2013 the original 1928 price. Queues snaked down the promenade. While we were there, we took portraits for our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/harry-ramsden-bournemouth-meet-the-team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meet The Team<\/a> series. Seeing our waistcoats, ties and aprons in action was a proud moment for the whole Field Grey team. The new look brings refinement and character to the buzz of a seaside chippy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And who doesn\u2019t like fish and chips for 7p?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"16014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_08_822_FINAL-480x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_08_822_FINAL-480x600.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_08_822_FINAL-320x400.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_08_822_FINAL.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"16015\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_09_992_FINAL-480x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_09_992_FINAL-480x600.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_09_992_FINAL-320x400.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20250522_FIELDGREY_SHOT_09_992_FINAL.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maddy, Assistant Designer | Readywear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This year it&#8217;s been super exciting to help Field Grey develop some new <a href=\"http:\/\/readywear.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Readywear<\/a> pieces, as we introduced two new trouser styles to the collection. Staying true to our ethos of durable, high-quality, fashion-forward workwear, we\u2019ve designed pieces we&#8217;re so proud of and can\u2019t wait to start integrating into future projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Elasticated Waist Trousers, available in <a href=\"https:\/\/readywear.co.uk\/collections\/men\/products\/male-elasticated-waist-trouser?variant=56849454858627\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">male<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/readywear.co.uk\/collections\/women\/products\/female-elasticated-waist-trouser?variant=37792741195938\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">female<\/a> styles, have quickly become a studio favourite. They\u2019re stylish, comfortable and brilliantly versatile, made from a soft tailoring cloth that drapes beautifully and is easy to care for. Available in black and navy, you can dress them up or down: wear them to work or wear them to dinner \u2013 the choice is yours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our new Performance Trousers add a functional edge to the range. Inspired by a traditional cargo silhouette, we refined the design with soft contrast knee panels for comfort, extra-wide belt loops and durable fabrics suited to everyday wear. They maintain that signature Field Grey tailored shape, giving a practical trouser a sophisticated, wearable feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both pairs,<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/behind-the-scenes-of-our-latest-studio-shoot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shot by stylist Gareth Scourfield<\/a> in 2025, slot effortlessly into the existing Readywear range, and I love styling the elasticated style with our Relaxed Fit Shirt for an easy, modern look. I can\u2019t wait to start putting these pieces into production and seeing them in real workplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been a fantastic year for Readywear, and we\u2019ve got plenty more up our bib-shirt sleeves for 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"16020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_5106-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_5106-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_5106-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_5106.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"16021\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/michal6-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/michal6-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/michal6-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/michal6.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Annelie, Content Creator | Fulham Pie<\/strong>r<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I get to shoot some wonderful venues for Field Grey, and Fulham Pier was one of my highlights of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I first visited in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/shaping-identities-at-fulham-pier-a-conversation-with-director-glen-sutton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">summer<\/a>, when the riverside felt bright, open and buzzy, and returned in winter to photograph the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/meet-the-doormen-of-fulham-pier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">door team<\/a> in their beautiful overcoats. It was interesting to see how the space had shifted with the seasons and how the uniforms supported that change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I enjoyed most was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/meet-the-team-at-fulham-pier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shooting the team<\/a> for our portrait series. Everyone brought something different to the collection. Photographing them was a joy: we created relaxed portraits, chatting between shots when we heard some lovely feedback on how the uniforms feel in the real world. We also got some great shots of Fulham Pier Director Glen Sutton, who revealed his passion for tailoring in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/my-uniform-fulham-piers-glen-sutton-is-a-tailoring-devotee\/\">My Uniform<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The setting itself was a dream to shoot. The architecture and interiors gave us so many clean lines, textures and pockets of beautiful light. Shooting portraits with this fabulous backdrop made the whole thing feel like two shoots woven into one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s always rewarding to see a Field Grey collection come to life, but Fulham Pier felt particularly special \u2013 a genuinely warm team, an amazing new venue and uniforms that look great in both the sunshine and more sombre winter light. A project I\u2019m really proud to have captured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"566\" height=\"376\" data-id=\"16025\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Credit-Rebecca-Dickon.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Credit-Rebecca-Dickon.jpg 566w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Credit-Rebecca-Dickon-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"16024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Credit-Natoora-480x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Credit-Natoora-480x600.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Credit-Natoora-320x400.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Credit-Natoora.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Anna, Digital Content Manager | International Women&#8217;s Da<\/strong>y<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s standout moment for me was interviewing five brilliant women for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/international-womens-day-five-trailblazing-women-in-hospitality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Women\u2019s Day<\/a>. The interviews turned into long, insightful conversations about ambition, confidence and the realities of building a career in hospitality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we spoke, chef <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amberfrancis.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amber Francis<\/a> was on the brink of winning <em>Great British Menu<\/em>. She opened up about being dismissed early on, how \u201csheer stubbornness\u201d had kept her going, and of producers reminding her, \u201cYou deserve to be here.\u201d That theme \u2013 doubt on one shoulder, determination on the other \u2013 ran through all the interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My chat with Neena Jivraj Stevenson at The Sloane Club was equally revealing, and led to us working together on her <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/my-uniform-neena-jivraj-stevenson-managing-director-the-sloane-club\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">My Uniform<\/a><\/em> piece soon after. She spoke candidly about imposter syndrome still creeping in, despite everything she\u2019s achieved. At our former local, <a href=\"https:\/\/quincebakery.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Quince<\/a> bakery, Anna Higham shared how she\u2019s built community through food \u2014 and the joy of finally having an apron that fits someone over 5ft 5in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What struck me across all five stories was how much the industry has shifted \u2014 and how much these women are driving that change. <a href=\"https:\/\/wearedatahawks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Data Hawks<\/a>\u2019 Victoria Searl summed it up perfectly: \u201cSometimes you just have to pretend you have the confidence of a mediocre man.\u201d Editing these conversations down was tough \u2013 there was so much richness I couldn\u2019t fit in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A close second was interviewing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/inside-matter-the-innovators-cleaning-up-the-textile-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daniel Toner at Matter<\/a>. Their work in textile innovation feels genuinely groundbreaking, and closely aligned with where Field Grey wants to grow.
