Introducing Our All-Weather BioThane® Range

The winter-proof gear your dog deserves.

Winter in the Cotswolds has a magic of its own — crisp mornings, rolling fog, the odd surprise snow flurry and, inevitably, the muddiest footpaths imaginable. For most dogs, this is heaven. For most owners… let’s just say soggy collars and damp leads aren’t exactly festive.

So this season, we set out to create something that could handle all of it.
Meet our brand-new All-Weather BioThane® Range, designed for dogs who live for adventure and owners who value quality, ease and beautifully made kit.

What Makes BioThane® So Brilliant?

If you’ve ever wrestled with a muddy leather collar, you’ll understand why we fell in love with this material. BioThane® is a coated webbing that’s:

  • Waterproof – rain, puddles, sleet… it shrugs it all off.

  • Mud-proof & odour-resistant – no lingering damp dog smell.

  • Wipe clean in seconds – one cloth and it’s like new.

  • Lightweight & flexible – comfortable for everyday wear.

  • Incredibly durable – built for real, countryside use.

It’s the ideal match for dogs who prefer exploring bridleways over staying clean and dry.

Designed to Build an All-Weather Wardrobe

We wanted this collection to slot seamlessly into your dog’s existing Cotswold Hipster wardrobe. So whether you’re heading out for a muddy Sunday stomp in the woods or walking straight into a pub lunch by the fire, you can mix and match with ease.

  • BioThane® for wild-weather walks, stream-jumpers and mud magnets.

  • Leather and felt for those cleaner, slower, post-ramble moments when you want your dog looking effortlessly smart.

Together they create a simple, flexible, all-season wardrobe — practical when it matters, polished when it counts.

Designed the Cotswold Hipster Way

Although practicality was at the heart of this range, we weren’t about to compromise on style or craftsmanship.

Each collar and lead is made in our workshop with the same level of attention you’ll find in our leather and felt collections. Every finish, every rivet, every colour choice has been considered to create gear that feels both timeless and genuinely useful.

We’ve chosen shades inspired by winter in the Cotswolds — our favourite olive green, warm tan and a rich dark brown that pair beautifully with our existing accessories.


The Range

Why Winter Walks Just Got Easier

Let’s be honest — winter walking can be a bit of a chore. Coats, hats, gloves, slippery footpaths… and that moment your dog rolls in something questionable and returns looking very pleased with themselves.

This new range takes the stress out of it. No more hanging collars on radiators. No more scrubbing. No more ‘that smell’. Just grab a cloth, wipe, and you’re good to go again.

It’s one of those upgrades that makes a surprising difference to your daily routine.
