Mens Norfolk Jackets
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.
Each hunting coat showcases the quintessential features that defined Victorian sporting life: durable box pleats for freedom of movement, deep gusset pockets, and a traditional belted waist. Made from premium wool-blend herringbone tweed, these vintage sport coats evolved beyond the shooting field to become essential wear for early motorists and cyclists during the Edwardian era.
Perfect for historical shooting events, vintage car rallies, period cycling gatherings, and sporting demonstrations. Create a complete Victorian ensemble by pairing your Norfolk shooting jacket with our matching tweed trousers or traditional knickerbockers. Each jacket combines authentic period details with practical durability, making them ideal for both historical reenactments and modern sporting pursuits.
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.
