Stone of Scotland
facilitating outdoor activities and producing the appropriate equipment
Our shop
At Stone of scot.land our online shop embodies and reflects the nature of our services.
Practical, organic, and empowering your own capabilities.
our equipment is made using organic renewable materials sourced/produced in the UK, Scotland or Europe:
(wool, leather, wood, steel, bone, etc).
All sourced responsibly.
Making minimal exceptions for optional practical features that are difficult for us to produce for garments: (zippers, Velcro, etc)
Hand forged /carved supplementary items
can be found in the category.
Specialist garments / multi-functional equipment (e.g. Great kilt) suitable for cold and wet weather, (boreal, tundra, and temperate rain-forest environments), can be found in the category.
Most of our items are historically inspired, by time proven designs.
-----
We've stopped being over reliant on toxic synthetic fiber and equipment which lacks the durability and insulative properties we're looking for when it comes to consecutive days of long-term wet weather exposure.
Eventually, if you're out for long enough everything will get saturated. This is where wool thrives.
Our aim is not to stay dry indefinitely, but for wet weather to have a significantly less compromising impact on our safety, comfort, and warmth.
This makes getting saturated from rain a lot less noticeable, and the tangible breath-ability of wool results in quicker drying.
It may seem radically different to some outdoor community's standards, however, we like staying dry too! But we're not betting on the weather or our "waterproofs" to agree.
An "all eggs in one basket" approach to staying dry outside might be the Achille's heel to our outdoor resilience.
Factually it starts with us.
If we don't create heat, there's none to be reflected in the clothing.
(we aim to address this issue in some of our courses.)
