Wofte Fishing Clothing

Wofte is a brand which has been designed by anglers, for anglers. Offering a brand-new ‘streetwise’ take on traditional angling fashion, Wofte has been making waves in the urban carp fishing scene for the better part of a decade and the ripples have since spread across the country. First established in 2011, the brand began life in the South East of England, where there was a growing underground carp community of young and innovative anglers. These anglers had shunned the traditions of their parents and grandparents and were determined to bring carp fishing back to its roots – with a modern twist, of course. The need for practical and stylish clothing was evident from day one and these urban anglers wanted a range which expressed both sides of their personality. Marrying urban style with angling practicality is what Wofte does best and the brand has grown exponentially since its early days.

It’s a little known fact that the unusual brand name is actually an acronym. Originally known as Watch Out For Them Eels, the name quickly became shortened and abbreviated and the brand was born. The brand found its feet early in the industry, originally marketing itself with a rough edge before transferring to the sleek and classy look which has made the brand so popular today. In the early days, it was seen as going against the grain of angling fashion: where other manufactures were incorporating bright colours and vivid logos into their clothing, Wofte were understated and boasted a limited colour pallet of traditional khaki, olive green, and brown. Today, other manufactures have done a 180 and are racing to catch up with Wofte’s street-smart threads. None have pulled it off as effortlessly as the original.

If you’re in the market for an item of clothing that looks as good off the bank as it does on the bank then you need look no further. Wofte’s combination of muted tones and bespoke branding means that its range of t-shirts and hoodies look every bit as at home on the high street as they do on the bankside. In fact, you wouldn’t look twice if you spotted this range in your favourite street-wise store – whether that’s H&M, TopMan, or Hollister. This means that you can transition from bank to street and back again seamlessly with this stylist and range of clothing.

However, the brand is also committed to, in its own words, ‘stick two fingers up to the outdoor elements’. With this in mind, it has also designed and manufactured highly technical bankwear which allows you to fish without worrying about the weather. Ripstop waterproofing and highly breathable wicking ensures that you can be at the water’s edge no matter the conditions. As you might expect, this material is finished with Wofte’s trademark style – keeping you looking good and performing to the best of your abilities year-round.

The brand now has a cult following which has expanded across the country and over onto the continent. The range continues to grow and mature with the brand, too, and it now includes everything from comfy joggers and practical t-shirts through to stylish snap-backs, five panel hats, and chunky beanie knits. If you want to modernise your angling style with clothing items which are as stylish as they are practical then this impressive range from Wofte is perfect for you.
