We’ve been digging through the archive again.

Old product catalogues. Iconic colourways. One off pieces. Prototypes that never made it further than a sample rail. 47 years of stuff sitting in boxes and old files, some of it barely seen since it was made.

We’re planning the next chapter of the Heritage line. No trend chasing. We want to celebrate the iconic pieces that were built to outlast whatever was thrown at them.

This one’s a Buffalo Windshirt, snapped for Mountain Style, the book documenting British outdoor clothing from 1953 to 2000. That blue and yellow was never subtle, and it wasn’t meant to be. Colours you could spot on a hillside from half a mile off. The original Buffalo label on the chest, and stitching that’s still holding, decades after it was sewn.

So tell us. Better still, show us. Dig out your favourite Buffalo piece, snap it, and tag us in it. The jacket you’ve had for 20 years and won’t retire. Something from an old catalogue you always wanted. A colourway that never should have been discontinued.

Drop the photo and the story in the comments, or tag us in your own post. We’re building the next release around what the community actually brings out of the cupboard.

Due to popular demand, a second small batch of the anthracite Mountain Shirt and Belay Jacket with arm patch is now available.
 
Same build as always, in a colour that means business, with a hook and loop compatible sleeve patch so you can personalise your kit or change its identity whenever the job requires.

Both products are part of the Buffalo Professional Series, purpose-built colours and kit inspired by the demands of military, mountain rescue and expedition leaders. But they’re also just as at home on a hill walk, a climb, or a day on the bike.

A compatible anthracite hood is available too, if you want to complete the system.

Shop the second drop now at buffalosystems.co.uk, or pop into the factory shop at The Old Dairy, Sheffield, and see Tom or Edward.

Steel & Grit now comes in a can.

Brewed with our neighbours at Abbeydale Brewery to mark their 30th year, this is a Mountain Pale Ale built on Citra, Mosaic and a brand new hop, HPA 065. Juicy citrus up front, tropical pineapple underneath, a spicy edge from that new hop. Untamed and hazy, with a crisp, bitter finish.

Steel & Grit is Buffalo’s ongoing series of events, interviews and exclusive products, all built around Buffalo DNA. This beer is part of that. More to come.

Abbeydale deliver cans nationwide, or you can call in at the brewery itself, just round the corner from the Old Dairy, open 9 to 5 on weekdays. Use the link in the bio to order yours.

On draught around Sheffield at Alder Bar, Church, Dog and Partridge, and the Kelham Island Tavern. It’s also heading out to pubs and independents within 100 miles of Sheffield, and to Germany.

Get in quick. It sold out at the Abbeydale taproom launch in two days.

Steel & Grit celebrates Buffalo’s DNA. Bringing our community together, and celebrating the people who’ve done extraordinary things.

It started with the Maclean brothers interview. Now comes the first Steel & Grit event, live at Chapel Walk. A talk and Q&A with Edward, a core part of Buffalo for years. He leads the teams on the ground and is helping spearhead what comes next, all while climbing in the kit he helps build. Bring your questions and a get ready to hear stories about last 12 months of change, ambition and belief.

There’s a beer to mark the occasion too. Steel & Grit Mountain Pale Ale, brewed with Abbeydale Brewery to mark their 30 years, launching on the day. We’ve put five cases behind the bar to give everyone a free taste.

We’re also launching the Development 12 jacket. Only 70 being made, and Chapel Walk is the first place you’ll see it.

We’re bringing a sewing machine down to Chapel Walk for the day too. Choose from our military and mountain rescue inspired patches, and we’ll sew it onto any Buffalo product while you’re there. First 25 patches are on us.

Samples and bundles as well, put together specially for the day and only available here.

Chapel Walk. Saturday 1st August, 10am to 4pm. See you there.

Steel and Grit: Episode One.

A new interview series, starting here.

First up: the Maclean brothers. Three siblings, one rowing boat, and 139 days crossing the Pacific, unsupported and non-stop, raising over £1 million for clean water projects with Feedback Madagascar.

We caught up with them on everything from Flea calling the boat mid-ocean, to what it actually felt like when the wind turned them north with six weeks still to row.

They’ve also just been welcomed into the Buffalo Hall of Fame, each awarded a Golden Buffalo for services to adventure. They’ve been living in our heritage kit ever since.

Their new book, Three Brothers in a Boat: A True Story of Adventure and Purpose Rowing the Pacific, is out this September.

Full interview on the site, link in bio.
