FineFettle

We have a number of 10ml beard conditioners to give away with any order until stocks last. These will be selected at random at point of packing.

A message to the loyal customers and much loved friends of FineFettle from Stu and Danny.

It will not have gone unnoticed that we have been very quiet lately. The reason is that we have decided that it is the right time for us to make the final stop on our FineFettle journey and will cease to trade at the end of November 2023.

The company was born after a chance discussion over a curry and we have built the company upon the foundation of our 30 year friendship, which has only become steadfast in the process. We are both incredibly proud of everything we have created together from our unique brand of high quality products to the responsible commitment to make as little impact on the environment around us as possible to the mission that everyone can truly be in the finest fettle.

Over the past few years we have found that the growing demands of the business has pulled our time and focus away from the things that mean the most to us. In the early days we were able to run FineFettle alongside our day jobs and our young families. As time went by, the dynamics changed, as they inevitably do when you have kids who grow up, meaning our responsibility to them has changed, which impacts the time we can devote to the business. We adore our FineFettle family and have made many memories and true friendships along the way but the time is now right for us to focus on our actual families.

We have enjoyed the opportunities and challenges that have come our way but in recent years we have seen an unprecedented rise in all costs across the board from ingredients to postage and packaging and other services. Regardless of where you personally stand relating to Brexit, the reality for a small company like ours is that it made a lucrative past revenue stream (our easy access to the European market) much harder to reach and maintain without further additional and new investment. These factors accelerated us towards a point where we had to decide to re-invest or take a moment to reflect.

The choice of financially investing further was tightly coupled to also committing a significant amount of time over a sustained period. It was clear for both of us and we agreed that such a commitment was no longer possible.

We cannot thank you enough for believing in and continuing to support our small business, which has allowed us to see our products travel across the world and be used and loved by the bearded, their beloved and their barbers.

We plan to use up all the remaining ingredients we have to make as many products as possible. Once gone, its gone.
Thank you

To be in fine fettle means that something is in top condition, looked after and cared for.

Though we are passionate about creating products that deliver this we also beleive that being in fine fettle can relate to our physical and mental wellbeing as well as applying to the environment and our responsibility to it.

To choose FineFettle is to choose a company that creates with conscience.

Behind each and every scent is an inspiration. Sometimes a mood, sometimes a memory and in this instance an item.

The New World Range is influenced by times past, of exploration and discovery, of mystery and revelation.

Our Wayfinders Odyssey is inspired by the bag our intrepid explorer would collect their discoveries of exotic spices, flowers and aromatics. You can feel the adventure woven into its fabric.

Deep notes of leather, amber and sweet earthy spice will leave you intoxicated and seeking adventure.
