Men's Country Shorts and Trousers

A Schoffel supreme at its finest is what encompasses the men’s moleskin trousers. A versatile and interesting alternative to chinos or jeans, moleskin trousers are as tough as leather and extremely hard wearing but being just like velvet to the touch. Closely connected to the corduroy family, they both use frustian fabrics, meaning that in the manufacturing process, they expose the internal weave between the two layers of heavy cotton. Working wonders in the winter months, moleskin trousers and men’s breeks retain heat and have been adopted for many years by shooters because of their wind resistant qualities. Equally, the high cotton content makes them equally breathable for summer days in the week at work or on a weekend away.

The men’s tweed trousers bring it all back to country roots. An original when it comes to performance fabrics, tweed is windproof, water-resistant and breathable, owed to its particularly hairy, springy texture. As well as this, the spongy nature of the material makes it comfortable to wear, as well as undoubtedly striking, with its flecked, nepped and multi-coloured versions. Originally made on the loom, the manufacturing of tweed firstly features the dying and drying of the wool. The colourful concoction of wools are mixed together to create the exact shade of thread needed for the tweed. It follows with a process know as teasing and carsing, stretching the wool and making them into tiny fibres, all pointing in the same direction. This creates thread which is wound around the yarns ready to be woven. In this intricate process, the loom passes wefts through the warp to create the weave. Our Schoffel tweed collection, most strikingly seen on our Plus Two’s, even include a Teflon® coating to ensure they maintain their beautiful and diverse quality. Seen pride of place on the shooting field, paired with our Ptarmigan Tweed Coat.
