Magneto Vest14 oz Selvedge Denim
Designed to be Ed’s perfect motorcycling trip vest. It came up over budget as he over specs everything, so we’re not making many! Read Ed’s spec list below. You actually don’t need a motorbike to wear the Magneto. This is a utility vest at heart. Oozing quality. Spec’d to the max. British-made to last - it might even outlive you.
The brief that blew the bloody doors off
No frills, plenty of purpose.
The Magneto Vest has to provide function when worn over a leather jacket at speed.
It’s also got to look good with layers stripped back, like over a t-shirt at the camping spot.
Must have secure pockets for phone, money and the good stuff, plus side hand warmer pockets.
Top tier hardwearing selvedge denim.
Indigo, not black, so you can’t see the beard dandruff.
Contrast tobacco stitching and shiny brass to show some class.
No collar as they flap in the wind like dog ears.

Regenerative Agriculture is the antidote to damaging, intensive farming. Farming with nature. Not just avoiding synthetic fertiliser and pesticides but using extra ecological practices.
Intensive farming leads to soil degradation. Regenerative agriculture is a way of farming that builds and improves soil fertility, whilst sequestering and storing atmospheric CO2, increasing on farm diversity and improving water and energy management.

Hebtroco we have a problem!
I really shouldn’t have bought the Magneto vest… but I’m so glad I did.
It oozes quality, fits perfectly and looks even better in person.
The stealthy design is also definite plus.
It means that until I’m brave enough to tell the missus I bought another hebtroco classic, I can smuggle it out of the house under one of my iron shirts!
Love it.
