Jack Pyke Polar Fleece Shirt - Dark Olive

The layer you reach for when the morning's cold and you're not sure what the afternoon brings.

A zip fleece goes on and comes off. That's it. The button-down gives you something a zip can't - you can open it at the chest mid-walk, roll the cuffs back when you're working the dog, and still look the part if you're in company. It's a shirt that happens to be fleece, not a fleece that looks like a shirt. There's a difference, and you notice it after an hour in the field.

The fabric is soft polar fleece - warm without being heavy, breathable enough that you're not overheating on the walk between drives. The relaxed fit means it layers comfortably under a gilet or shooting jacket without bunching at the shoulders. Two chest pockets button closed, so your phone and cards stay put when you're bending down or working through cover.

Button cuffs do what zip cuffs don't. Roll them back, button them off, leave them exactly where you want them. It sounds minor. On a day where you're handling dummies, managing leads, and carrying kit across a field, having your sleeves stay where you put them is not minor.

Dark olive goes with everything. Under a wax jacket, over a base layer, on its own on a mild October morning. The colour sits quietly in the field and doesn't ask to be noticed.
