The HOGGS OF FIFE Melrose II V-Neck Pullover is a warm, breathable knitted layer designed for smart country wear, shooting and everyday outdoor use.
Its marled acrylic-and-wool knit provides dependable warmth and natural moisture management, while faux-suede shoulder reinforcements improve durability in areas exposed to regular wear.
The classic V-neck is ideal for wearing over a checked shirt and tie, making the Melrose II equally suited to field sports, country events and relaxed rural style.
The Melrose II combines durable acrylic with natural wool to create a warm, comfortable knitted layer.
Wool helps regulate temperature and move moisture away from the body, while acrylic supports durability and shape retention through regular wear.
The V-neck creates a traditional country look and sits neatly over a collared shirt.
It is particularly well suited to shooting days, country events and smarter rural occasions where a shirt and tie may be worn underneath.
Faux-suede panels strengthen the shoulders and help protect the knit in areas that experience regular friction from jackets, gun slips and outdoor equipment.
The panels also add a distinctive countrywear detail that complements the traditional marled knit.
Rib knitting around the neckline, cuffs and hem helps the pullover retain its shape while providing a comfortable fit.
The streamlined design allows the Melrose II to sit easily beneath a shooting coat or waterproof field jacket.
Wear the pullover over a tattersall shirt for a traditional shooting outfit or combine it with chinos and boots for smart-casual weekend wear.
It is suitable for shooting, farming, dog walking, country events and everyday use in cool weather.
