A Brief History of Hoggs of Fife
Hoggs of Fife began making country footwear in 1888 in Strathmiglo, Fife, Scotland. Well over a century later the company is still based in Fife and is still owned and run by the Hogg family. Over the years the range has grown from boots into a full line of country clothing, and the brand has built a loyal following among farmers, gamekeepers, outdoor workers and anyone who needs kit that copes with British weather.
Today Hoggs of Fife is known for practical, good-value country clothing and footwear: Hoggs of Fife boots, waterproof jackets, moleskin trousers, fleeces and tattersall check shirts. We stock the range at 4 Elements Clothing with free UK delivery and returns.
Hoggs of Fife Boots
Boots are where the brand started and are still the most popular part of the range. There are three main styles to choose from.
Dealer and Chelsea Boots
Pull-on Hoggs of Fife dealer boots are the classic country boot: smart enough for the pub, tough enough for the yard. Our best seller is the Banff Country Classic dealer boot. If you need something for the ladies' range, see the Northumberland ladies' waterproof Chelsea boot or the ladies' jodhpur dealer boot.
Walking and Hiking Boots
For longer days out, look at the waterproof leather Glencoe and Munro boots, the Rambler hiking boot, or the Torridon walking shoe.
Safety Boots
If your boots are for work, our Hoggs of Fife safety boots include steel toe cap lace-ups such as the Hercules and safety dealer boots such as the Zeus and Classic D2/D3.
Hoggs of Fife Wellies
Our Hoggs of Fife wellington boots cover everyday and field use. The neoprene-lined field sports wellingtons are a good choice for cold, wet days, while the Braemar and Field Sport 365 suit all-round use. Add a pair of insulated boot socks for winter.
Hoggs of Fife Jackets, Smocks and Gilets
The Struther waterproof smock is one of the brand's best-known pieces: a field jacket made for wet weather and shooting days, with matching shooting vest and junior sizes. For lighter use, the Culloden packable waterproof jacket folds away small. For fleece warmth, the Stenton range includes a jacket and gilet. Browse them all in our jackets and outerwear and gilets and bodywarmers collections.
Trousers, Shirts and Knitwear
The Monarch II moleskin trousers are a country staple, and the range also includes waterproof over trousers and bib and brace. Our Hoggs of Fife shirts include classic tattersall and flannel checks for men and women, and there are warm pullovers and knitwear to go with them. For work, the WorkHogg coverall is a hard-wearing boiler suit.
How to Choose Hoggs of Fife Gear
- Boots: choose the style for the job first (dealer for everyday, lace-up for walking, steel toe for work), then check the sizing on the product page.
- Waterproofs: pick a smock or jacket by how you will use it, shooting and field days or lighter walks.
- Layers: a fleece or gilet under a waterproof gives you flexibility through the seasons.
