Von Dörnberg »Diana« Ladies Shooting Jacket

The »shooting jacket« evolved in England from the nobility's need for formal clothing that was both durable and elegant for hunting activities. The tailors developed special jackets for a wide range of outdoor activities, where every detail either increased the durability of the jacket or the comfort for the wearer. In the 1800s and early 1900s, British tailors on Savile Row, London, perfected hunting clothing to an art form. Their custom-made »shooting jackets« set the standard for gentleman's hunting clothing. The traditional hunting jacket is one of the best examples of classic British style, being an expression of stylish functionality and elegance, then as today.The elegant »Diana« shooting jacket made of linen piqué is characterised by exclusive workmanship and first-class wearing comfort. The piqué is made from a blend of long-staple cotton and cooling linen. The result is an outer fabric with natural elasticity and a pleasant feel. The linen fibres with their characteristic slubs give the jacket a casual look. The jacket has two patch flap pockets, one breast pocket with flap and two slanted welt pockets. The striking shooting patch, details in cognac and green suede and the colour-contrasting stand-up collar with storm latch underline the sporty, elegant style of the jacket. The two patch pockets are worked without the typical bellows, yet offer enough space without being bulky.
