The Ultimate Guide to Women's Breeks: Sizing, Styles, and More!
Breeks are a classic piece of shooting kit. Whether you want shooting breeks in moleskin or tweed, with a new style storm cuff or a more traditional buckle, we’ve found them for you.
I was excited to receive my first invitation of the season, to be greeted by a cloud of tweedy dust and moth holes resembling what were my old faithful breeks. It was at that moment I had remembered they were put away with dog slobber, blood, and other detritus from the season still clutched to them. This was a lesson I won’t forget in a hurry – always clean your clothing before storing away in a dry, clean, dark area, preferably a spare sealed bag.
Finding a suitable replacement pair was not a hard task for me, being able to pop into the warehouse and pull a pair from our stock, which I have had my eye on for a while – but I dare say you ladies are not in a position to simply pop to your local shooting shop and grab a pair.
I know first-hand how difficult it is to undertake extensive research on a piece of clothing, to finally find the perfect item that ticks all the boxes and then be disheartened to find the sizing confusing.
