Finished the landscaping

USMC - the ultimate combat short

This short is great for climbing, hiking and anything else you want to get up to on a Saturday afternoon due to its comfortable low crotch fit and the durability of the high quality Italian cotton in Finnish Digi Camouflage. The combat style pockets are great for chucking what you need in and getting on your way. The USMC style originates from an original 1945 military boiler suit and has evolved and re-emerged into this great combat short. We have also made a video showing the fit and performance of this great combat short.

Spa break for the buffalos

Now this will make you laugh, last night we had just finished a hand smoked ham joint slow cooked in a Moroccan lentil soup. Feeling very smug with myself "i am the man, Jamie Oliver and Hugh fearnley Whittingstall combined" and very full we sat down to relax. Only to have the neighbour come to the door saying, "I've just seen your 2 large black water buffalo's running.. Really quite fast along the top road, they seem very excited". O shit, okay l have been playing farmers for 8 mouths now but only with animals behind fences, how the hell do you find and get them to come home? So we jumped in the land rover and raced off towards last siting, being such large animals it wasn't to difficult to spot these two run down the lane towards Hartland point. Until they disappeared into a luxury spa holiday let garden. What a sight our girls on the lawn next to the washing lines.., now how do we get them home even out of this persons garden, with all the excitement they are very flighty charging up and down.

So to cut this story short as it's time for breakfast.. We managed to get them home, I wouldn't say with our skill.. They just run off with us trying to catch up with them in the land rover .. And went home..

But how did they get out? was it the job l gave to Elvis to water the new grass seed?

Elvis!

"wasn't me Dad.."

Well there are very large foot prints in the new grass seed area ...

Elvis!

Big love the Griffin's

The cesspool has been dug into the ground and we're preparing for the poly-tunnel.

This pant was initially developed from a snow pant and traditional Thai trouser. Made from a Polyester/Cotton Ripstop fabric. Low crotch with gusset, to allow for plenty of room in the seat. The Technical Thai Pant is available in Finnish Digi Camouflage. Visit the Griffin Online Store now to watch the video and view the garment in more detail…

New Video for the SS11 Hanoi Pant

This new video for the SS11 Hanoi Pant is the next in a series showing the fit and movement of our trousers. The Hanoi Pant was derived from the styling of the USMC pant, but with a straight, slimmer fit on the leg and the crotch is not-so low slung. Made from a great quality Mid-weight Italian Cotton Twill and is limited edition.
Trousers have always been difficult to buy online so along with producing videos, each pant has a spec sheet on the product pages, simply click the sizing chart to find your size. Visit the Griffin Online Store to view more new videos in the trousers and short sections....
