Cosd Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Looking at getting some smarter shooting attire since I have been invited to a driven shoot. Is Hoggs Of Fife reasonable quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 They are based just along the road from me and their stuff is generally really good quality. I have one of their FieldPro tweed shooting jackets and it is very well made. I also have a tweed suit from them too and again it is very well made. Their retail shop is www.fifecountry.co.uk and they sell a much wider range of manufacturers clothing too, but they are the same business.

Cosd Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I can't see any stockists near me, and just wanted to check before ordering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I would have no hesitation in ordering from them, my experience of their clothing and boots is good. They are also nice people who run the business, I have been in the shop and the factory many times and always a good experience. What I would say is that if you compared someone like musto or schoffel their tweeds are much finer, but of course are also much more expensive. Hoggs seem to be very functional and robust, maybe not so much elegant and sophisticated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'm not planning to get "tweeded" up, I'm not sure how many times I would get to wear it. Plan is to get some moleskin breeks, a nice shooting jacket (not camo like my current one), a nice shirt, waistcoat and jumper. I just want to have some more presentable clothes for when I do get a chance for this kind of thing. I generally pigeon shoot, and though I dress reasonably smart, it's not what I would want to turn up in to a formal shoot...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Fair enough, I am a tweedy *** most of the time even when it is absolutely nothing to do with shooting !! If you like what you see online and the prices are good then go for it, the quality should not be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tikkashot Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I have several pairs of hoggs of fife breeks and moleskin trousers, for the money they are well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100milesaway Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Just bought 2 pairs of their ladies moleskin pants, they are a perfect fit and came within 2 days of ordering, The quality of the moleskin is exceptional and feels better than trousers I have paid alot more £'s for in the past.. from Auntie.

chacotawas Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 One of our local farm shops sells Hoggs clothing and footwear. I've a Hoggs car coat and I've had sweaters and body warmers over the years. Well-made and hard-wearing-. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I've had a pair of boots for about five years now and there is another easily another five in them. Use them most evenings taking the dog out and although I have looked after them i dont overdo it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I found the shirts bobble but the rest I've tried very good but moleskin breeks came up a size smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Found the same with their moleskin jeans,needed a size up compared to other makes.Good stuff though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andra Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Anyone know what the sizing is like for jackets.... the tweed ones? In Barbour I am a large and in Seeland an XL as they come in small. Some sites say Hoggs come in at L= 41 to 43 and XL 44 to 46. but dont want it to be too roomy and bag like so pondering on the large at the mo..... Would be an online purchase.

100milesaway Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Give them a call and they will measure each item requested for you. I bought on line and after speaking to them on the phone they measured the trousers for me before despatch and they were perfect.from Auntie.

Westley Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Bought some Hoggs moleskin trousers from local gunshop last week, needed to go up 1 size from normal. Have had quite a bit of stuff from their mail order service. If any problems with size they have exchanged by return of post. Excellent Company to deal with.

scotslad Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Not everyones cup of tea but Sportsmans gun centre alwayus have some dirt cheap offers on depending on ur size. And i've never had any bother wi them I have had a few pairs of the Dunbar breeks and they are quite queer looking but are pretty waterproof and brair resistant and easily cleaned if in the back of a landy stuffed full of dogs. But otherwise Hoggs stuff is decent quality for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddywack12 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Hoggs moleskins are the best out there IMO As others have said their mail order service is second to none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I find their shirts too short, and they come untucked really easily. Maybe it's my long body Other than that, very good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
