Alan Paine Bramfield Explorer Crew Neck

A green crew neck with shoulder and elbow patches.

The Alan Paine Bramfield Explorer is a men's crew neck jumper from the English knitwear house Alan Paine. The body is knitted in a soft, mottled green, and the shoulders and elbows are reinforced with patches in a lighter green, a classic detail on shooting and field jumpers. The patches take the wear where a gun stock, a rucksack strap or a jacket rubs the most.

It has a ribbed crew neck, ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem, and a straight, comfortable fit that sits well over a shirt or a base layer.

How to wear it

On a cool autumn morning in the forest, wear it over a shirt or a base layer with a collar, with hunting trousers and boots, and add a jacket or a vest when it gets colder. At home and in town, it works just as well with chinos or cords and a check shirt. The green goes with brown, olive, orange and cream.

Field Notes

What do I wear as a standing gun on a driven hunt in November?

Build it in layers you can adjust while you stand still: a wool base layer, a warm jumper and a quiet, weatherproof jacket on top, with a hat and blaze orange where the hunt asks for it. A crew neck like the Bramfield is the warm middle layer, and the shoulder patches take the wear when you mount the gun.

How should a jacket fit if I shoot with a shotgun?

You should be able to lift the gun to your shoulder without the jacket pulling across the back or riding up at the arms. The same goes for what you wear underneath: a jumper that is not too tight across the shoulders, like the Bramfield, lets you mount smoothly with a jacket on top.

What is a good gift for a man who hunts?

Something he will wear every season and that looks right both in the forest and at home. A classic jumper with shoulder and elbow patches is a safe choice: it suits a driven hunt, a walk with the dog and a Sunday lunch.
