Proper shooting socks — long, pure-wool, with the contrasting turnover that rolls over the breek buckle — are one of those pieces of kit that quietly make a day's shooting better. Schoffel, Pennine and Bisley all make the traditional pattern; our William Powell own-label shooting socks are knitted in the UK from British wool. Pair with gaiters from Sealskinz or Le Chameau for serious wet-weather use.
