Warm Double-Brushed Fleece

The Balbeggie is made from 300gsm polyester fleece that has been brushed on both sides.

This substantial construction provides a soft feel and useful warmth, making the shacket suitable for colder days around the farm, yard or countryside.

Anti-Pilling Treatment

An anti-pilling finish helps reduce the formation of small fibre balls on the fabric’s surface.

Correct washing and avoiding unnecessary abrasion will help preserve the finish and keep the fleece looking presentable for longer.

Practical Shacket Design

The Balbeggie combines the familiar collared styling of a country shirt with the warmth of a fleece jacket.

It can be worn over a T-shirt, checked shirt or thermal base layer, depending on the weather and required level of insulation.

Branded Stud Fastenings

Branded studs run down the front, making the shacket easy to fasten or open as temperatures and activity levels change.

Matching branded studs at the cuffs provide a secure finish around the wrists and reinforce the garment’s practical workwear styling.

Four Useful Pockets

Two open-top chest pockets keep smaller essentials within easy reach and are detailed with gunmetal-grey branded snaps.

Two lower handwarmer pockets provide a comfortable place for cold hands while working or walking outdoors.

Green and Rust Country Styling

The Green and Rust colour combination creates a distinctive rural appearance that pairs naturally with work trousers, jeans and country footwear.

Wear it as an outer layer during cool, dry conditions or beneath a roomy waterproof coat when the weather becomes wet.

Made for Rural Life

The Balbeggie is suitable for farming, yard work, gardening, dog walking and relaxed weekend wear.

Its combination of warm fleece, practical pockets and easy stud fastenings makes it a dependable cold-weather layer for active country lifestyles.
