Warm Double-Brushed Fleece
The Brucefield is made from substantial 300gsm polyester fleece that has been brushed on both sides for a soft, comfortable feel.
Its fleece construction provides useful warmth for colder days without requiring a separate sherpa lining.
Anti-Pill Finish
An anti-pill treatment helps reduce the formation of small fibre balls on the outer surface.
This supports a tidier appearance through repeated wear, although correct washing and avoiding excessive abrasion will help maintain the finish for longer.
Distinctive Bias-Cut Detailing
The fabric across the yoke and chest pockets is cut on the bias, positioning the checked pattern diagonally against the main body.
This contrast adds definition to the Brown and Navy colour combination while retaining the shacket’s traditional country character.
Practical Snap Fastenings
Snap closures run down the front placket, providing a convenient alternative to ordinary buttons.
Matching snaps at the cuffs allow the sleeves to be secured neatly around the wrists, while the chest-pocket closures help protect their contents during active use.
Four Useful Pockets
Two snap-fastened chest pockets provide accessible storage for small work and everyday essentials.
Two side-entry handwarmer pockets give cold hands a comfortable place to rest without occupying the chest storage.
Versatile Shacket Layering
A shacket combines the appearance of a shirt with the substance of a lightweight jacket. Wear the Brucefield over a T-shirt or base layer during cool, dry weather.
When conditions become colder or wetter, it can also be worn beneath a roomy insulated or waterproof coat.
Designed for Country Life
The Brucefield is suitable for farming, gardening, yard work, dog walking and relaxed weekends.
Its warm fleece, easy snap fastenings and practical pocket layout make it a useful layer for active rural lifestyles.
