Layering Country Check Shirts
A fantastic feature of the country check shirt is its versatility, whether that be for activities such as shooting, farm work, or a ramble in the countryside, or if its for seasonal wear and layering.
In the summer, countryside check shirts can be worn alone, as they’ll keep you warm in the summer breeze, but will also prevent you from overheating.
However, as the seasons change in the spring and autumn, layering is a must. There are many layering options with a country check shirt, whether that be a jumper, a fleece gilet, or a jacket. A jumper is a great option for additional layering, as it adds an extra layer of warmth without the bulk of a heavy coat, making it a practical choice for changing weather conditions. Whether you're out in the field, or simply running errands in town, this pairing provides comfort and flexibility. However, for some freedom of movement is key. With this in mind, a fleece gilet as a layering piece is ideal. Due to their lack of arms, a fleece gilet allows you to move more freely and without restriction, whilst still keeping your core warm. They are an ideal layering piece for transitional weather. Discover why fleece gilets are a wardrobe staple in our blog.
The Great British weather is notoriously unpredictable, often bringing unexpected rainfall. When working in the field, shooting, or walking the dog, a lightweight waterproof jacket serves as an excellent layering option. Designed to keep you dry while providing insulation against the chill, it ensures comfort in wet conditions. However, in harsher weather, a lightweight jacket may not offer sufficient protection. In these cases, a thick, waterproof winter coat is the ideal choice. Not only does it provide superior warmth by preventing heat loss, but its waterproof properties also ensure you remain dry and comfortable during the coldest months.
