A reliable shooting jacket remains one of the most valuable shooting gifts for men and women. It protects against wind, rain and cold while allowing free movement in the shoulder.

2) A shooting cap for clear focus on the peg
A shooting cap may seem simple, yet it is an essential part of any shoot. It helps block glare, supports visibility and offers welcome insulation on cooler days.
The Hoggs of Fife Kinloch Waterproof Tweed Cap is a great example of classic fieldwear paired with modern practicality.
What makes it useful:
· Traditional tweed appearance

Features worth noting:
