Alan Paine Gladstone V-Slipover Tartan Green

The slipover is the quiet classic of the shooting field: warmth where you need it, and nothing on the arms when you mount the gun. Alan Paine has made English country knitwear since 1907, and the Gladstone is knitted in soft Geelong lambswool with a clean V-neck that sits neatly over a collared shirt and tie.

Tartan Green is a deep, dark green that works with tweed, checks and every shade of brown in the country wardrobe.

How to wear it
Over a checked shirt under a tweed or wax jacket on a driven day, with the jacket coming off at lunch. With a plain shirt and corduroys for dinner, or over a polo neck in town when it gets cold.

Field Notes

How do I stay warm standing still on a peg for two hours?

Keep the warmth on your body and let your arms move. A wool slipover over a shirt adds heat to the core without bulk at the shoulders, so the gun mounts cleanly. Add a windproof jacket on top, a hat and good gloves, and you can stand for hours.

What should a man wear to a hunting dinner that is not black tie? 

A tweed jacket, a shirt and tie, and a knitted slipover in a deep colour. The slipover makes the outfit look considered without being formal, and it keeps you warm in a cool manor house. Finish with corduroys or flannels and polished brown shoes.

What is a good gift for a man who hunts? 

Something he will wear every season: a classic lambswool slipover from Alan Paine works on the stand, at lunch and in town. Choose a deep green or brown that goes with what he already owns.
