About S&W Gallus
About S&W Gallus
Gallus is an independent British veteran-owned apparel brand built around military heritage, remembrance, service and the stories behind the places people remember.
Our designs and Field Notes begin with a real subject rather than a generic clothing trend: a campaign, battlefield, set of coordinates, unit experience, map or shared piece of service life. The aim is simple — make the history accessible, make the reference meaningful and make it wearable.
Founded by veterans
Gallus was founded by Jamie Waldron and Ryan Small, British Army veterans with 36 years of combined service.
Jamie Waldron — 24 years' service
Jamie served 24 years in the British Army. His service took him through 1st Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Wales (1 RRW), 1st and 2nd Battalions, The Royal Welsh, 1 SCOTS (Specialised Infantry) and 1 RANGER.
His operational experience includes multiple tours of Iraq. During his career he specialised in reconnaissance (Recce Platoon) and communications and information systems (CIS), combining the infantryman's understanding of ground and movement with the communications and technical systems that connect people across it. He is also a qualified Jungle Warfare Instructor.
That background is one reason Gallus pays close attention to terrain, routes, coordinates, communications, unit history and the practical detail behind a campaign. To us, military history is not decoration — the ground, the date and the context matter.
Ryan Small — 12 years with The Royal Welsh
Ryan served 12 years with The Royal Welsh, including service as a mortarman. His operational experience includes Afghanistan, where he fired multiple operational fire missions.
That experience gives Ryan a practical perspective on indirect fire, terrain, observation, movement and the relationship between a map and what was actually happening on the ground. It also informs the way his Field Notes approach military history: not simply as a list of dates, but as decisions made by people operating in real terrain under real conditions.
What we make
Military Heritage — wearable designs built around real campaigns, battles, units, places and service, from the Anglo-Zulu War and the World Wars through the Falklands, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Remembrance — designs centred on service, sacrifice, memorials and the traditions through which people remember.
Proud to Support and PTSD & Mental Health — designs reflecting military families, veteran support, solidarity and the wounds that are not always visible.
Field Notes — our comprehensive guides and longer-form pieces exploring the history behind campaigns, battlefields, equipment, places and the designs themselves.
History without the fancy dress
Gallus is not trying to make costume clothing or shout the loudest. We prefer specific references, restrained graphics and designs that still work as clothing even when the person next to you does not know the whole story.
Garment specifications vary by product, so the relevant material, fit and care information is listed on each product page rather than making one blanket claim across the whole range.
Made to order & fulfilment
Many Gallus products are produced to order through specialist fulfilment partners. Production location and garment specification can vary by item and destination. Shipping is calculated for your location at checkout, and tracking details are provided after dispatch where available.
