25 Years of the Ptarmigan

The 2018 season marked an exciting milestone in Schöffel’s 200 year history, as they celebrated the 25th anniversary of the original Ptarmigan shooting coat, which launched in 1993. It was quickly identified as the quintessential shooting jacket, with features such as; deep pockets for cartridges, large shoulder fit, and hidden zips.

This Schöffel jacket hasn’t changed in style or fit over the years, however Schöffel have developed the resources used, as fabric technology has evolved. A key feature that has been consistent throughout the journey is its 100% waterproof, windproof and breathable qualities. Its thriving success has helped launch the Schöffel jacket collection, which now includes seven different Ptarmigan jackets.

Schöffel jackets now include modern GORE-Tex® within the Ptarmigan collection, with taped seams for absolute waterproofness. Schöffel’s continuous use of this technology has made them the largest user of GORE-Tex® in Western Europe.

Each Schöffel jacket utilises the very best fabrics, designs and features that provide the customer with the best possible performance in all conditions. This includes features such as; GORE-Tex® 3 layer laminate material for extreme weather protection, retainer straps for easy cartridge access, reinforced bellows cartridge pockets with drainage holes, micro-fleece hand warming pockets, removable recoil pad to fit the right or left shoulder, two way zips and a detachable hood.

The Schoffel Fleece & Iconic Gilet

As well as the Ptarmigan range, Schöffel is also best known for its premium fleece collection. The Oakham is a mid weight fleece gilet perfect for casual layering with a shirt or under a jacket for additional warm in the field. The classic Schöffel fleece gilet is regularly seen at most shoot meetings, fine dining rooms and country pubs. The men’s Schöffel Oakham is a best seller here at Allcocks, as Schöffel have now perfected this premium fleece for its fit and style and can also be zipped into Schoffel’s own Ptarmigan interactive jacket.

Similarly to the gentlemen's Oakham fleece gilet Schöffel have created the Lyndon for the ladies. Using the same premium fleece, the Lyndon gilet has a feminine and flattering fit as well as Schoffel signature Alacantra trim. Schoffel have released many different colours to cater for everyone within their fleece range, and this is something they continue to develop each year, delivering new and appealing colours.
