Hunting Jacket. Brown with Blue Cord Collar

A jacket made for men and women. 

“It ain’t what you do.
It’s the way that you do it.”

Sarah has long planned to design a jacket based on some old hunting/shooting coats in our archive and this jacket is it. It has taken time; this is its fourth physical iteration. This runs contrary to my instincts; I am very much a ‘why do tomorrow what you can do today?’ kind of person. But Sarah was determined to do it properly and properly meant slowly, in a considered and detail-driven way and she was right.

This has a lovely drape, in mid-weight, hard-wearing but soft cotton with a corduroy collar in confident, rich navy. It has a slight crop, and a good boxy feel; not oversized but just right. The collar is wide and open, so it looks and feels great buttoned or unbuttoned. The jacket is at once elegant and casual, with hand-warming and button-up pockets, as well as an inside pocket.

To me, it feels perfect, the weight is good, the sleeves just right and the large buttons are perfectly proportioned. It has an embroidered G / H at the back and our new ‘It ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it’ label inside as a reminder that this not only looks great and works well, but has real depth, soul and provenance to it.
