Shooting Breeks

Few pieces of shooting clothing say "driven day" quite like a good pair of breeks. Cut to finish just below the knee and worn with long shooting socks, shooting breeks give you freedom to walk, climb and mount a gun without wet, heavy trouser legs dragging through mud and grass. They remain a firm favourite on formal shoots and a practical choice on the hill.

Why Shooting Breeks Work in the Field

Breeks keep the lower leg free, which makes a real difference when you are crossing wet fields, climbing to a peg or walking between drives. The hem sits above the worst of the mud, your socks and boots or wellingtons do the work below the knee, and the cut through the seat and thigh allows a comfortable, unrestricted stance. Plus twos and plus fours add a little extra room at the knee for traditional styling and easier movement.

Tweed, Moleskin or Technical

Shooting breeks in tweed are the classic choice for driven days and look right with a matching jacket, and many Guns build a set around shooting breeks and waistcoat in the same cloth. Moleskin shooting breeks are warm, soft and easy to wash, making them a good option for regular use. Technical breeks in green fabrics with a waterproof membrane suit keepers, ghillies and anyone who wants to stay dry in all weathers without giving up the look. Brands in the range include Alan Paine, Laksen and Hoggs of Fife.

Choosing the Best Shooting Breeks for You

The best shooting breeks are the ones that suit how and where you shoot. Think about formality, how much walking you do and the conditions you usually face. Browse our men's breeks and women's breeks for fit-specific styles, and finish the look with long shooting socks and garters and a shooting waistcoat. If you are still weighing up shooting trousers and breeks, our shooting trousers, breeks and leggings collection lets you compare every style side by side.
