The HOGGS OF FIFE Gairloch Knitted Fleece Lined Jacket combines the appearance of traditional country knitwear with the warmth and practicality of a full-zip fleece.
Its dark-brown melange outer blends wool with acrylic, polyamide and polyester, creating a textured knitted finish suited to wearing over a shirt or beneath a field coat. A bonded sherpa-fleece lining provides soft insulation throughout.
Three zipped pockets offer secure storage, while embossed leatherette details and subtle embroidered branding complete the Bracken design.
The Gairloch has a textured knitted shell that gives it the appearance of classic country knitwear rather than a conventional smooth fleece jacket.
Wool contributes natural warmth, while acrylic, polyamide and polyester support durability, shape retention and everyday practicality.
A tonal polyester sherpa-fleece lining is bonded to the knitted outer, creating a comfortable insulating layer for colder days.
The soft interior makes the Gairloch particularly useful for farmers, dog walkers and anyone spending extended periods outdoors in cool conditions.
The full-length front zip makes the jacket easy to put on, remove or open for ventilation as activity levels change.
Wear it over a checked shirt or base layer in cool, dry weather, or use it beneath a roomy field coat when additional weather protection is required.
A zipped chest pocket provides accessible storage for smaller essentials.
Two lower zipped handwarmer pockets offer secure storage and a comfortable place for cold hands.
Embossed leatherette pullers make the zips easier to operate while adding a traditional country finishing detail.
A matching embossed badge and an embroidered logo at the hem provide understated Hoggs of Fife branding.
The Bracken colourway combines a dark-brown melange outer with a tonal sherpa interior.
Its neutral rural palette coordinates easily with tattersall shirts, moleskin trousers, jeans and traditional field clothing.
The Gairloch is suitable for farming, dog walking, gardening, outdoor work and relaxed everyday wear.
It works as a warm outer layer in cool, dry conditions or as an insulating mid-layer beneath a waterproof jacket.
