The HOGGS OF FIFE Moy Moleskin Shirt is a substantial cotton shirt that brings the soft texture of traditional moleskin fabric to a practical country design.

Soft Brushed Moleskin

The cotton fabric is brushed to create a smooth, suede-like surface that feels soft and comfortable to wear.

Despite its name, moleskin is not made from animal hide. It is a tightly constructed cotton textile named after its distinctive soft and velvety finish.

Substantial Cotton Construction

At 240gsm, the Moy has a more reassuring feel than a lightweight summer shirt while retaining the natural breathability of cotton.

Wear it as a traditional buttoned shirt or use it as a light overshirt over a T-shirt during cooler weather.

Practical Chest Pockets

Two buttoned pockets positioned on the chest provide convenient storage for small everyday items.

Their symmetrical design also gives the shirt a practical, workwear-inspired appearance suited to rural life.

Adjustable Button Cuffs

The cuffs can be adjusted using the button fastenings for a comfortable fit around the wrists.

They can also be opened when rolling up the sleeves for work or warmer conditions.

Versatile Country Style

Pair the Moy with jeans and boots for casual weekends or combine it with field trousers and a waxed jacket for farm work and country activities.

The choice of Oatmeal and Loden Marl complements traditional green, brown and navy outerwear.
