BEST SHOOTING JACKETS
WHAT MAKES A GOOD SHOOTING JACKET?
A good shooting jacket will be one of the best investments you make. At the outset, it’s important to ask yourself what you want your coat to do for you. Will you be beating, stalking or rough shooting, will you be spending time on the peg or are you looking for a flexible allrounder which won’t look out of place in the field or at the rugby ground?
Your shooting coat should provide protection from the elements, be roomy enough to allow full freedom of movement and add extra layers if required, should possess lots of easily accessible pockets such as deep cartridge pockets and hand-warmer pockets with flap retainer straps and have a robust zip, windbreaker cuffs and a waterproof lining. Look for a durable fabric that can not only withstand wear and tear but which is tough enough to resist tears from thorns and other nasties.
Due to the unpredictability of the weather, a waterproof and breathable coat is an absolute must; one which will keep you warm and dry on the wettest and coldest of days. If you fancy splurging on a lighter weight coat for warmer shoots, or if you prefer a less bulky coat, then a waterproof option is still advisable.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SHOOTING JACKET AND A SHOOTING COAT?
The main difference between a shooting jacket and a shooting coat is the level of insulation and protection they provide. Typically, a shooting jacket is a lighter weight garment made of lightweight fabric characteristically with adjustable cuffs and waistband more suited for use in milder weather, while a shooting coat is a heavier, more insulated garment which tends to be longer in length, which has a range of pockets and which provides greater protection in colder and wetter weather conditions.

OUR BEST TWEED SHOOTING JACKETS
COMBROOK SHOOTING COATS
Tweed still remains a popular choice. Alan Paine’s pure wool Combrook coat and Combrook field coat have a waterproof membrane to keep you dry and comfortable in the heaviest of rain.
Designed with a roomy, shooting fit, the Combrook coat has two side vents and a semi-raglan sleeve for complete ease of movement. With a range of useful pockets including cartridge pockets with eyelet drainage holes, hand-warmer pockets and a map pocket, the coat has waterproof windbreaker cuffs and a two-way zipper.
Though the Combrook men’s field coat boasts a more regular, modern fit it still retains plenty of room and features an action back for unrestricted movement. The all-weather protection coat has a soft contrast inner collar for additional comfort and comes with the same useful pockets that the Combrook coat has, not to mention a durable two-way zipper and reinforced seams.
RUTLAND TWEED JACKETS
Favoured by gamekeepers and beaters, the Alan Paine Rutland coat is crafted from a durable wool blend designed to withstand the elements and robust enough to tolerate thorns and brambles.
