Lambing season is one of the busiest and most rewarding times of the year for farmers. However, it can also be one of the most physically demanding. Long hours in all kinds of weather, handling newborn lambs, and making sure everything goes smoothly can be exhausting. The key to surviving lambing season 2025 (and doing it comfortably) is the right clothing and gear. At Monty West’s, we understand the unique demands of farm life, which is why we’ve curated a collection of clothing that keeps you comfortable, protected, and looking good through the toughest days on the farm.
Here’s how to survive lambing season 2025 with the right clothing and accessories:
1. Layer Up with Comfortable, Durable Fabrics
Lambing season can see you working in cold mornings and warmer afternoons, so layering is essential. The right layers not only keep you warm but also allow you to adjust as the day heats up.
Our quarter zip sweatshirts are perfect for this. Made from warm, breathable materials, they keep you comfortable while handling tasks that can work up a sweat. The quarter zip provides ventilation when you need it, while the cosy fabric ensures you stay warm when temperatures drop.
For an extra layer of protection, consider wearing a polo shirt underneath. These shirts are designed to be durable enough for farm life while remaining breathable, making them perfect for layering during lambing season.
2. Protect Your Feet with Tough, Comfortable Dealer Boots
Lambing season means lots of time on your feet, whether you're checking ewes, assisting with births, or simply moving from shed to shed. You need boots that can keep up with long days while also protecting your feet.
Our dealer boots are designed for comfort and durability, with rugged soles to handle the toughest conditions. These boots offer excellent support, and their slip-resistant design ensures you can move confidently around wet or muddy areas. With a comfortable fit, they help prevent fatigue, making them ideal for long lambing sessions.
3. Stay Dry and Warm with Cosy Accessories
Lambing season often brings unpredictable weather, so it’s important to be prepared for anything the Great British Spring throws your way. Whether it’s rain, snow, or the biting wind, having the right accessories can make a huge difference in your comfort levels.
A warm, cosy hat will keep your head protected from the cold, while a headband is perfect for keeping your hair in place and preventing sweat from getting in your eyes. These practical accessories are made from soft, breathable fabrics that ensure comfort and warmth during those chilly mornings and long hours outside.
4. Go for Clothing That’s Easy to Maintain
During lambing season, you’ll inevitably get your clothes dirty, whether it’s from mud, hay, or lambing fluids. The last thing you want is clothing that’s hard to clean or wears out quickly after a few washes.
All of Monty West’s collections are designed with longevity in mind. Our garments wash well, retaining their shape and colour even after frequent use. Whether it's a quarter zip sweatshirt or a polo shirt, our clothing is made to last – which is essential when you’re working long hours through lambing season and beyond.
5. Opt for Versatile, Classic Styles
Although lambing season demands hard work, there are those rare moments when you can take a break, grab a drink at the local pub, or simply enjoy a moment of relaxation. You want workwear that not only performs well on the farm but also looks good enough to wear out when you're off-duty.
Our signature embroidery and classic styles make our clothing both functional and stylish. Whether you’re in the barn or catching up with friends after a long day, you’ll feel comfortable and look good in our durable, well-designed pieces.
Surviving lambing season 2025 requires the right gear, from layering up with durable sweatshirts to keeping your feet protected in tough boots. Monty West’s range of comfortable, hardwearing clothing is designed to meet the demands of farm life, while also offering the style and comfort you need when you're off-duty.
