John Field
John Field is a trademark of Seyntex. It has existed for quite some decades now, but got a boost some years ago. It used to specialize in horse riding and shooting (or hunting) clothes and specializes itself on shooting clothes and rainwear nowadays. The clothes tend to have special properties suited for their application like magnets for closing pockets (in order to quickly grasp a bullet), high visibility or anti-mosquito. In the future, it might expand to all kinds of outdoor clothing.
