About us
We are country fashion retailers focusing on high quality brands which compliment each other. Fit for the farm, the pub or a weekend in the countryside, we are here to make sure you are always looking and feeling the part!
The Out & About brand was initially launched in Manningtree as an independent store. In 2014, Tuckwells bought Out & About and we started up our first shop which is located in the Lawn & Garden showroom in Ardleigh, Colchester. We are a little bit tucked away on the Dedham road, but we have off road parking and a nice, relaxed atmosphere where there is always someone available for advice and help if needed. In Ardleigh, we stock our full range of brands, and focus on both practical and stylish outfits and footwear for men and women.
More recently, in 2018, we snapped up a store in Framlingham, near Woodbridge. This is a smaller shop, but still with a key collection from our top brands. Slightly more fashion and slightly less country, yet still staying true to our roots.
We have carefully chosen the brands which we represent, and we work very closely with them to ensure we have the best stock and a good range of sizes where possible, stocking sizes 8-18 and S - XXXL. Our portfolio of brands is diverse and will suit all occasions and country lifestyles. Some of our brands include Dubarry, RM Williams, Crew, Joules, Le Chameau, Fairfax & Favor, Barbour and more. We are always looking to diversify and work with new brands.
Our vast range of footwear at Out & About, both practical and smart casual, provides us with real choice when helping to decide which pair would suit your lifestyle best. Whether you need technical wellies, or just a pair for walking the dog, we have a full selection. When it comes to smart country footwear, our ladies range includes Dubarry and Fairfax & Favor, and for men we offer Chelsea boots, deck shoes and boots to suit all tastes. One of our new brand additions is TOMS footwear, proving very popular due to their fun styles and affordable prices.
We are part of P Tuckwell Ltd, Agricultural Machinery Specialists in Suffolk, Essex, Herts & Beds. Tuckwells is a family run business, established in 1954, believing in quality products and excellent customer service.
