John Field

John Field was first established in 1965 to provide technical, weather-resistant clothing for the equestrian market. Owned by the Seyntex Group, the brand was relaunched and reinvented in 2011 under the management of Maureen Seynaeve, great granddaughter of Arthur Seynaeve, who founded Seyntex in 1908. Today Seyntex employs some 130 people at its headquarters in Belgium where it has administration offices, warehouses, a fabriclaboratory, a shooting range and showrooms. Manufacture of Seyntex products takes place in its own factories in Eastern Europe and in Asia. Seyntex is the leading European manufacturer of garments for the military, police and firefighters. The group acquired John Field in 1968 out of personal interest for riding clothing. In the 1980’s the company started producing the breathable, light and strong Aircoatflex range. Ten years later the brand moved into the fishing, the shooting and the outdoor market focusing on producing high performance garments. Maureen wanted to combine her passion for the countryside with her interest in technical and performing textiles and garments. The brand ethos is first and foremost to offer high quality at value for money prices. Furthermore every product is tested by the family which has a long history of involvement in shooting and fieldsports. The John Field range is designed by Maureen and manufactured using Seyntex’s own technical fabrics. Each product is designed for a specific purpose with materials being selected accordingly and eco-friendly materials used wherever possible. Manufacturing takes place in Europe. Quality is key combining performance, durability, comfort and inventive features with an elegant look. Design inspiration comes from the family’s experiences in the field with yearly improvements being made based on customer feedback. The whole collection is under continuous development.
