A shooting shirt is the foundation of your outfit. It sits closest to your skin for the whole day, so it needs to stay comfortable when you are walking hard between drives and warm when you are standing still at the peg. It also sets the tone, whether that is a crisp check shirt and tie on a formal driven day or a breathable technical shirt for a warm September partridge day.
Check Shirts for Driven Days
The classic check shooting shirt remains a staple for good reason. Tattersall and country checks look right with tweed, sit neatly under a jacket or jumper and work well with a tie. Many mens shooting shirts in traditional styles use soft brushed cotton or cotton and wool blends for warmth, with a collar designed to take a tie comfortably and sit neatly under a jumper or waistcoat all day. Brands such as Hoggs of Fife, Harkila, Laksen and Seeland all produce excellent traditional shirts.
Fleece Lined and Warm-Weather Shirts
For colder days, a fleece-lined shooting shirt adds real warmth without adding bulk under your coat, making it popular with beaters, keepers and early-morning pigeon shooters. At the other end of the season, breathable technical shirts and shoot t shirts wick moisture away on warm grouse and partridge days, or work as a base layer under a shirt. Look for a slightly longer back that stays tucked in when you mount, and quiet fabrics that will not rustle. Long sleeves are the practical choice in the field, protecting your arms against thorns and nettles. Our range includes shooting shirts for men and women from Deerhunter and other trusted brands.
Building Your Outfit
