Mens Shooting Jackets

Shooting jackets for meeting the outdoor demands

The purpose of mens shooting jackets is to keep you comfortable and dry throughout the day. There are many designs of the shooting jackets for men available, including styles with a raglan sleeve, bellowed pockets, waterproof drop down linings and handwarmer pockets.

For a more traditional choice, a tweed shooting jacket is essential. The classic look of the green and brown tweeds, with a matching pair of breeks and waistcoat will set you up perfectly for your next formal grouse and pheasant shooting event. These modern styles of tweed jackets are paired up with a modern waterproof membrane, giving you the confidence that you will remain dry for longer. The traditional tweed shooting jacket is a favourite for all formal events. Plus for the added protection, the tweed is treated with Teflon for rain and stain resistance.

For warmer shoot days a lightweight shooting jacket will be needed. Whereas, for colder months, a shooting coat with a thermal padding and quilted lining will give you the warmth needed.

Some modern shooting jackets now combine traditional country styling with technical tweed fabrics for improved comfort in mixed weather conditions.

For shooters looking for lightweight warmth during cooler days in the field, our range of quilted shooting jackets offers an excellent alternative to heavier waterproof and tweed styles.

Shooting Jackets vs Hunting Jackets

Many shooting jackets also work well as hunting jackets, especially when they offer waterproof protection, breathable fabrics and plenty of freedom of movement. The main difference usually comes down to how and where you wear them. A hunting jacket often needs quieter outer fabric for stalking or moving through cover, while a shooting jacket for game days may focus more on tweed, field coat styling and practical cartridge pockets.

For wet days, a waterproof shooting jacket is a sensible choice. For formal days, a tweed shooting jacket or traditional field coat gives you a smarter look while still keeping you comfortable outdoors.
