Shooting Jacket – Brown Waxed Cloth Size:LOriginating in mid 19th century England, the shooting jacket evolved from the Norfolk jacket, a belted, pleated tweed garment popularised in the 1860s for hunting and other country pursuits.

By the 20th century, later versions began incorporating more durable, waterproof, and lightweight materials. This Needles interpretation draws from those original
