HOGGS OF FIFE Melrose II Crew Pullover – Men's

The HOGGS OF FIFE Melrose II Crew Pullover is a warm and versatile knitted layer designed for shooting, farm work and everyday country wear.

Its marled knit combines acrylic with moisture-wicking wool, providing comfortable warmth and breathability without the bulk of a heavy outdoor jacket. Faux-suede shoulder reinforcements improve durability where the pullover is most exposed to wear.

A higher ribbed crew neck offers additional protection against cool breezes, while the tonal embroidered sleeve logo provides a subtle finishing detail.

Warm Acrylic and Wool Blend

The knitted fabric combines durable acrylic with the natural performance of wool. Wool helps provide warmth, breathability and moisture management, making the Melrose II comfortable during changing activity levels.

Its marled finish gives the pullover a traditional country appearance that pairs easily with field trousers, shooting breeks or jeans.

Reinforced for Outdoor Use

Faux-suede panels strengthen the shoulders, helping protect an area frequently exposed to friction from outdoor jackets, equipment and regular farm work.

The contrasting panels also complement the pullover’s classic shooting and country styling.

Higher Ribbed Crew Neck

The raised rib-knitted neckline provides more coverage than a conventional low crew neck, helping protect the base of the neck when cold breezes pick up.

Ribbed cuffs provide a comfortable finish around the wrists and help retain warmth inside the garment.

Comfortable Country Layering

Wear the Melrose II over a checked country shirt for a traditional field look or combine it with a base layer when additional warmth is needed.

Its streamlined crew-neck design also makes it suitable for wearing beneath a waterproof field coat during colder or wetter conditions.

Versatile Rural Style

Designed to balance outdoor practicality with understated country style, the Melrose II is suitable for shooting, farming, dog walking, gardening and casual everyday wear.

The tonal embroidered logo on the left sleeve keeps the branding subtle and allows the traditional knit and reinforced shoulders to remain the main design features.
