Born in the county of Norfolk, England, in the mid-nineteenth century, the Norfolk Jacket (also called a shooting or hunting jacket,) was made for rugged use. Featuring sturdy box pleats, heavy gusset pockets, and a matching belt, English gentry would wear them for hunting, shooting, fishing, or any other outdoor sport requiring freedom of motion.
Norfolk Jackets remained popular through the turn of the century, seeing use in Edwardian times in all outdoor recreations including golf and motoring. Then, as now, the Norfolk Jacket epitomized masculine, outdoor sports, and the classic lines ring true even today.
Our authentic Norfolk Jackets are made of a sturdy wool blend herringbone tweed, and can be paired with matching tweed trousers or knickerbockers for a suited look. We also offer a full line of mens flat caps, perfect to top off your sporting attire.
We are proud of our Norfolk Jackets, and consider them comparable to other coats that cost hundreds of dollars more. We invite you to browse our line (and read the enthusiastic reviews!) and please contact us if you have any questions.
