HOGGS OF FIFE Melrose II V-Neck Pullover – Men's

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

Its marled acrylic-and-wool fabric provides comfortable warmth and breathability, while the classic V-neck allows it to sit neatly over a collared country shirt. Faux-suede shoulder reinforcements improve durability in an area frequently exposed to wear.

Rib-knitted detailing around the neckline, cuffs and hem helps create a comfortable, tidy fit that works equally well in the field or for more relaxed occasions.

Warm Acrylic and Wool Blend

The knitted outer combines durable acrylic with the natural warmth and breathability of wool. This balanced blend provides comfortable insulation while remaining practical for regular outdoor wear.

Its marled finish creates a traditional country appearance that coordinates easily with shooting breeks, field trousers or jeans.

Classic V-Neck Design

The V-shaped neckline is designed to sit neatly over a checked or tattersall shirt, creating a smart country look without restricting movement around the neck.

It also makes the Melrose II a practical choice for occasions where a collared shirt is preferred but an additional layer of warmth is required.

Reinforced for Country Use

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

These contrasting panels add a traditional shooting-inspired detail while improving the pullover’s everyday durability.

Rib-Knitted Finish

Rib-knitted detailing around the collar, cuffs and hem helps the garment retain its shape and provides a comfortable finish.

The ribbed hem sits neatly around the waist, while the cuffs help keep the sleeves securely in position during active outdoor use.

Practical Layering

Wear the Melrose II over a country shirt during cool, dry weather or add it beneath a field coat when stronger protection from wind and rain is required.

Its V-neck construction makes it particularly well suited to shooting, farming, dog walking, gardening and smart-casual country wear.
