I waited a bit longer than liked for my fleece, but hey they are a small Company that supply a great quality fleece. Yes they might have had a few hiccups through their own success but don’t read the small amount of negative reviews. Hook and flanker have made changes for 2025 taking on extra staff etc I am very pleased with my high quality fleece and would say don’t hesitate to order and support this small business good luck for 2025 Hook & Flanker.

Fantastic product

Fantastic product. Small, growing business and if you pay attention to their Instagram you can see Brad and the team are doing their best. I love my fleece and it'll be worth the wait if anyone is still waiting.

Quality item with bonus of supporting a small company

Great to support a small company in purchasing a quality item. Was kept informed of issues and received my item, which was perfect. Am now considering a collab for my rugby club for whom I am the main buyer.

Burgundy fleece - love it!

I ordered the burgundy fleece and love it. The fit is exactly right and the quality matches my fleeces from north face. I had a delay with the delivery, to be expected from any business around Christmas time, but I was constantly informed of progress. I would highly recommend.

Really excellent product

Really excellent product. Ordered fleece for my son for Christmas. I had email contact throughout, even when they were struggling to fulfil orders. Kept me up to date with delivery dates etc. Sadly a small business that grew big overnight and fell behind on orders, don’t judge them by that alone. The product is great and well worth ordering, give them a go you won’t be disappointed.

If I could rate zero I would.

If I could rate zero I would.
No integrity
Can not be trusted
They do nit fulfill orders, refund or replace.
I am now going to report them to trading standards.
Do NOT use this company.

Hi Christine I am so sorry for the experience you have had with my company. I have single handedly made and packed over 3,000 orders and I am sorry that I dropped the ball on your order. If you send us an email I'd be more than happy to make things right

Support small businesses, but inexcusable customer services

Don’t appreciate the reviews stating check spam or compare to amazon - i’m well aware it’s a small company, it’s why i opted to order from them. i’ve ordered from small companies before and have encountered delays or difficulties from small manned operations, but since ordering 2 months ago i’ve had zero communication - no ‘weekly updates’, no tracking, no reply to several emails to customer service just to ask what’s going on. i had entirely assumed it was a scam business and accepted i won’t get my money back until i saw the other reviews where it does eventually appear/refund issued so fingers crossed! don’t believe only 40 have been neglected and if only 40 - these could easily have been communicated in a single email. really poor and with regret won’t be recommending

Hi Lamiya, I am so sorry for the experience you have had with us. I understand your points surrounding no communication. We have been sending out weekly comms as quite frankly I didn't have the resources to reply to emails etc. I have now brought in a customer service team to help me. Please send us an email and we will do what we can to make things right

Great quality and service

Ordered a fleece for my son for Christmas. The item arrived in good time and is beautifully made - he is delighted with it. Will be ordering one for my other son too. Very happy to have discovered Hook & Flanker - great products and excellent customer service. Will definitely support this small business in the future and am sure they will continue to strive to provide their customers with great quality items that are worth the wait.

Ordered a fleece and it's lovely

Ordered a fleece and it's lovely. My kids loved giving it as a present to a rugby mad dad. Yes it did take abit longer than i am sure it normally does out of the Christmas season. But I was kept updated every few days with emails and photos.
