Aquascutum Jackets

Aquascutum has been synonymous with British outerwear since 1851, and the Active jacket collection carries that authority into contemporary silhouettes. The Archival Harrington in Club Check, the reversible RLG Badge Sailor Jacket and the technical Shell Overshirt each draw on the brand's heritage while meeting modern demands for versatility and performance. Nine styles span navy, black, sage green and purple — from lightweight overshirts for layering to the insulated Quilted Hooded Jacket built for colder months. Every piece is designed to work as hard as it looks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Aquascutum Active jackets are constructed from technical shell fabrics,
premium cotton and water-resistant materials with considered detailing — Club Check
lining, branded hardware and reversible builds that give you two jackets in one.
Compared to fast-fashion outerwear at a fraction of the quality, the price-per-wear
on an Aquascutum jacket is significantly stronger.

Aquascutum is credited as one of the pioneers of the waterproof wool overcoat,
developed in London in 1851 by founder John Emary. The brand's weatherproofing
techniques predated Burberry's gabardine by several decades and helped establish
the British trench coat as a cultural icon worn by soldiers, royalty and statesmen.

Kate Middleton has been photographed in Barbour wax jackets on multiple occasions
rather than Aquascutum. However, both brands represent British heritage outerwear
at its finest — Aquascutum's reversible and technical shell jackets occupy the same
refined, understated territory and are a strong alternative for those seeking
something less ubiquitous.

The Aquascutum Active Archival Harrington is the brand's take on the classic
British Harrington silhouette — a bomber-length jacket with a zip front, ribbed
cuffs and hem, and the iconic Club Check lining. It sits at the intersection of
British heritage and casual cool, pairing equally well with chinos or denim.

The Home of Designer Luxury by 1999

We were founded in 1999 as a family-run clothing store, and in 2013 we launched this website.


We celebrated our very first Trustpilot website review on 8 December 2013 from Maaz, who ordered Armani Jeans – a brand we proudly continue to stock to this day, 13 years later. And now we have more than 200 genuine customer reviews.


We have built exclusive, trusted partnerships with over 40 brands, including Armani, BOSS, Vivienne Westwood and Ralph Lauren.

📍 We’ve Moved to Glasgow Fort

We are proud to have a physical store – and that is one of the reasons our customers value us so highly.


There is something special about being able to try on an item before ordering online. Our new store offers a curated selection of designer clothing, footwear, and accessories for men, women, and kids.


Glasgow Fort Shopping Park, Junction 10 M8, Glasgow, G34 9DL

✨ New Name. New Look.

Our evolution reflects our growth. What began as RETRO DESIGN WEAR has now become RD Wear – a cleaner, more refined identity that represents who we are today.


This change is not just about a shorter name or a modernised logo. It marks a natural progression from our early days as a local independent retailer to a recognised destination for premium designer fashion, both in-store and online.
