Men’s jackets are totally amazing, partly because technology has moved so fast in recent years.  At one time if you wanted a waterproof jacket to keep you dry and warm the only choice was the good old faithful Barbour wax jacket and, if like me, you left the stud-on hood behind, a wet neck was inevitable! Drop liners such as Gore-Tex and alike have opened up a whole new field.  If somebody gets soaking wet in this day and age they deserve it because jackets are so damn good.  Having said that, I have heard it said the average man has to get wet three times before he buys a new jacket!  A good jacket, whether it’s a casual or a shooting jacket, should be a pleasure to wear and the moment it fails, bin it, life is too short.

 At the Country Catalogue we pride ourselves on our range of shooting jackets from well known manufacturers and to complete the look we take the shooting jacket a step further by including in our range matching waistcoats, breeks and caps!
