Hunting Clothing for Life in the Field
At R. Macleod & Son, we offer a complete range of hunting clothing designed for real outdoor performance in the varied conditions found across the UK. Whether you’re stalking in the Highlands, working on the estate, or spending long days in the countryside, the right clothing system helps you stay warm, dry, and comfortable from start to finish.
Rather than focusing on single items in isolation, our hunting clothing range is built around a full layering approach, combining jackets, trousers, fleeces, jumpers, hats, midge protection, and technical outerwear to suit changing weather and activity levels.
A Complete Layering System for the Outdoors
Effective hunting clothing works best when layered correctly. Each piece plays a role in regulating temperature, managing moisture, and protecting against wind and rain. Base layers help manage sweat and moisture, mid-layers like fleeces and jumpers provide insulation, whilst outer layers such as jackets and trousers offer full protection from the elements.
Designed for UK Hunting Conditions
UK weather is unpredictable, which makes adaptable clothing essential. Our range is selected to perform across wet woodlands, exposed hill ground, and cold winter mornings, ensuring you can stay comfortable in changing conditions. Quiet fabrics, breathable materials, and weather-resistant finishes all help improve performance in real field environments where conditions can shift quickly.
From Jackets to Footwear – Everything You Need
Our hunting clothing category brings together all the essential kit needed for time in the field:
For waterproof and windproof protection.
For durability and wet ground.
For warmth and layering comfort.
For weather and sun protection.
For summer protection in affected areas.

Built for Comfort, Durability, and Movement
Hunting clothing needs to do more than protect, as it must also allow you to move freely and stay comfortable over long days outdoors. That’s why our range focuses on ergonomic design, durable materials, and practical features that support real field use. From quiet stalking in woodland to long hill walks in exposed terrain, every item is chosen with performance in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I build a hunting wardrobe for UK field sports?
A good hunting wardrobe starts with a practical layering system. This typically includes moisture-wicking base layers, insulating mid-layers such as fleeces or jumpers, and weatherproof outer layers for protection from wind and rain. Durable trousers, suitable footwear, and season-specific accessories such as hats and gloves help complete the setup.
2. How do I layer for deer stalking?
Effective layering allows you to adapt to changing conditions throughout the day. Start with a breathable base layer, add an insulating mid-layer for warmth, and finish with a waterproof or windproof outer layer if required. The goal is to stay comfortable whilst avoiding overheating during periods of activity.
3. Any tips for choosing a hunting jacket for UK terrain?
Look for a jacket that offers weather protection, breathability, and quiet fabrics suitable for stalking. The best choice will depend on the terrain and season, but waterproof and windproof designs are often beneficial given the unpredictable conditions commonly encountered across the UK.
4. What is the best clothing for grouse shooting?
Grouse shooting often involves long periods outdoors in exposed upland environments, so comfortable, weather-resistant clothing is important. Many shooters favour durable trousers, supportive footwear, and layered clothing that can adapt to changing temperatures and weather conditions throughout the day.
5. What should I wear on a driven shoot?
Traditional driven shoot attire typically includes a shooting jacket, shirt and tie, suitable trousers or breeks, and sturdy footwear. Weather conditions should also be considered, with waterproof layers, warm mid-layers, and appropriate headwear helping to ensure comfort throughout the day.
