Exactly, yes.

And as you say, handy for a recently shot umbrella or collapsible pheasant.

So it goes across the back? I’m just having trouble imagining how you access it

It's pretty much the same as the channel at the back of the field coat, only with flaps.

Hi Paul,

Thats a beautiful color for the hunting jacket, will other colors be available?

Also how will the fit be like?

 

[sehkelly]

It'll be a relaxed-fitting jacket.

Similar to the docket jacket ...

It has a different style to the donkey jacket, with regards to how it slots together, but in terms of shoulder shape and body length and sleeve width — plus the ability to slink it a couple of layers — that's what it reminds me of and it will be in much the same vein. That's what we're working towards!

I wear a donkey jacket almost all the time from autumn to spring and if I can bring the reassuring easiness of the experience to others I will be pleased. The shoulders of the hunting jacket are the same as the balmacaan, too, so it'll have a similar line to that, I should think.

This is just a development sample. We haven't yet settled on cloth or colours for the final release.

Will the cotton linen hopsack work jackets make a return next year Paul? Any new models in planning for summertime yet?

They're not, no -- not next year at least. The cloth has actually been discontinued, too, by the mill that supplies it, so we'll be looking elsewhere for the work jacket the next time it gets a run-out.

The paddock jacket, hunting jacket, and fishing jacket will all appear some time between now and summer (hopefully much closer to NOW than summer).

The pyjama jacket might make a return, too, and maybe one other, depending on how the aforementioned fare.

So we'll be well-covered for jackets, I think, over the next few months! But we'll see -- we're always keeping an eye on things, so if we find ourselves short or there's a clamour for this or that, we're always all ears.

In other less pleasing news, a delay on the making of the horn toggles means the duffle coat in Herdwick tweed is unlikely to make the cut this year.

It's looking more like it'll be one for next year instead.

It does now beg the question, however, "what to do with five very, very chunky rolls of recently woven Herdwick tweed?"

That sounds like a very interesting question to answer! 👀👀

The peacoat is the early frontrunner.

Would it be unbearably scratchy as a field shirt? I'm still a bit sad that I missed the linen burlap ones, so this would make up for it nicely

 

[DanielPicktonAllen]

What sort of colour is the cloth? I’d have thought Peacoat, Tielocken (maybe they need to be longer pieces?), donkey jacket (if there was suitable canvas around as well), or perhaps reviving something older?

It wouldn't be ideal, no. I don't think disqualifyingly so, but it's probably not our best candidate.

It's much the same colour as the trench coat and waistcoat — https://www.sehkelly.com/waistcoat-in-herdwick-tweed-in-light-sheep/ and https://www.sehkelly.com/waistcoat-in-herdwick-tweed-in-dark-sheep/.

The tielocken is a good idea.

Always happy to provide ideas, if a few of them happen to be good, that’s a bonus. If you had some like that light sheep it could solve the issue of the lack of grey tielockens in sizes below the very large.

I really like the idea of the tielocken in Herdwick tweed but I think it's an idea for next year or the one after.

The peacoat is still in pole position: it'll fill the hole left behind by the "gone too soon" khaki version.
