Schoffels

[Clive]

I bet when you go shooting you have the full uniform on, breeches , tweed cap the lot. Certainly not a pair of jeans and a hoodie .
The young lads going to LAMMA are no doubt excitedly playing a game of wish, with their mates, and are unlikely to be near the cheque book for a long time, so don’t be too hard on them.

I didn't say young ........ I said younger

but yes, I agree

 

[MrNoo]

I wear them all the time, buy a new one every year and am lucky if I don't melt them with the welder or grinder within 6 months. I'm 52 so probably should know better but I do like the collars as I hate a cold neck but would agree with others the quality is not what it used to be, over priced for what they are.
I was given a Purdey Gilet and I have had this years, very comfortable, decent collar and doesn't seem to catch fire when welding, Lord knows what it costs, I'd hate to think but an excellent quality gilet

Yes, pink [sorry, salmon]- 1000 acre trousers. To graduate into Burgundy you must be 3000 acres (hectares are the preferred currency in these circles actually) and above.

Owned or rented??!!

Heard a good name other day for Schoffel "type" Gilets... Chelsea Life Jacket or CLJ!

Ah man of your vintage and activities would probably be well served by some Carhartt type garment- something that can stick hot sparks.

Yes, I saw some at our young farmers rally last summer, longhorn shearing seems to be a preferred brand among the youngsters now as well.

I want a coat with no arms. This is British, imo better quality than the Scofful and is £95 cheaper. What's not to love?!

I’ve two of them

The plastic leather look trim soon breaks up making it look scruffy

So I agree it’s cheaper but you aren’t comparing apples with apples

Shooting should only be done in tweed

I do have a tweed waistcoat for this purpose (not made by shoffle!).

Interesting you commenting on Stone Island,I had never heard of them until daughter who is in the police commented on the fact that this brand is worn by a a special type of vermin.

Never heard of it either. It's certainly not cheap!!! £1700 for a fecking coat?!?!?

My favorite sleevless jacket (gilet) many moons ago was the Barbour waxed cotton one...... sadly no longer made, by christ did they last !

I picked one up on ebay, mint condition about £50. It's perfect for Spring/Autumn days which are too warm for a coat but might have a shower.

Same here, had it right through my college years then worked in for years after that. Top quality so have stuck with Barbour stuff since. Sadly only wax jackets are locally made rest in China I think

I have a Berwick Endurance in desperate need of re-proofing. nikwax or similar. I just find all the pockets are perfectly in the right places and the right sizes for all my bits & bobs.

I was looking at the Bransdale coat if I get rich before next season.

Our lads at Harper, he says all the rugby team have a mullet, part of the “uniform”

 

[Johnnyboxer]

Schoffels are so last year, to be the Ag Student about town, you must now be wearing your Ridgeline......

Oh I dunno, plenty at Lamma the last 2 days

Back in fashion...........big time

Never saw a pair of wellies being worn at Lamma, this year (except for sale)

 

[Plough on]

I still remember agritechnica it was spot the group of english farmers by the schoffels! The mullet and shorts in January is an interesting look at Lamma must agree!

 

[Womblefarrier]

There seems to be a uniform for mums at rural primary school, blue and white joules top, skinny jeans and brown booties, they all dress the same, no individualism?

 

[Still Farming]

What about the chavs , baseball cap, track or shell suits , uggs, crocks , shorts, onesies, leggings etc. etc fraternities too.
People take the P over F all these days?

I always said the day mulletts come back in fashion, I'm getting my Achy Breaky Heart CD out and going line dancing.
