Schoffel Tweed Plus Fours

Schoffel Tweed Plus Fours

The Schoffel Tweed Plus Fours combine British-milled Lovat lambswool tweed with practical shooting features and an adjustable below-the-knee fastening. The result is a pair of longer shooting breeks that offer the traditional character of tweed with useful details for time in the field.

Schoffel works with Lovat Mill in Scotland to produce its British-milled tweed, bringing a genuine Scottish connection to these shooting breeks. The 100% lambswool fabric gives the plus fours their distinctive tweed texture, while a moisture- and stain-resistant finish helps protect the fabric when conditions become damp or muddy.

The longer cut is one of the defining features of plus fours. Plus fours refers to the traditional four-inch extension below the knee, compared with approximately two inches for plus twos. The additional length gives the garment a fuller, more traditional sporting appearance while allowing freedom of movement around the knee.

Schoffel Tweed Plus Fours Key Features

• British-milled Lovat lambswool tweed produced in collaboration with Lovat Mill in Scotland.
• 100% lambswool tweed provides traditional country texture and character.
• Moisture- and stain-resistant finish helps protect the tweed in the field.
• Adjustable below-the-knee elasticated buckle fastenings allow a more precise fit.
• Four pockets provide useful storage when shooting or outdoors.
• Wide belt loops accommodate a suitable shooting or country belt.
• 100% polyamide satin lining provides a smooth finish inside.

The adjustable fastening plays an important practical role. Elasticated sections sit below the knee, while the buckles allow you to adjust the fit around the lower leg. This helps secure the longer breeks in place when worn with shooting boots or wellingtons.

Four pockets add useful storage without changing the traditional appearance of the garment. Wide belt loops also support the practical shooting design, while the regular fit gives the plus fours a straightforward silhouette through the upper leg.

The Lovat tweed remains the most visually defining feature. Its lambswool construction gives these breeks the texture and visual character associated with traditional country clothing, while the moisture- and stain-resistant finish adds a practical element for shooting in changeable outdoor conditions. The satin lining provides a smooth layer against clothing underneath.

Machine washable care makes the Schoffel Tweed Plus Fours easier to maintain than you might expect from a traditional wool shooting garment. With their Scottish-milled Lovat tweed, longer cut and adjustable below-knee fastening, they combine the distinctive look of classic plus fours with details suited to modern shooting.
