We had the great hunters of the early safari movement in mind when we designed our Ventile Professional Hunter Safari Jacket, with features and materials Alan Black, R.J. Cunninghame, Denys Finch-Hatton, and of course, Bunny Allen would have demanded. Underarm gussets and a bi-swing back allows for freedom of movement so there's never a problem leveling the rifle once you're locked and loaded, and you'll appreciate the recoil pouches, which allow for inserting removable recoil shoulder pads. Two front cartridge pockets ensure that ammo is never more than a moment away, and double bellows pockets with hidden zippers will keep your valuables (or maybe just the trusty flask) safe and dry all day long. Lightweight and extremely breathable with underarm vents so that you can comfortably wear it in Tanzania in October or Texas in June. The greats would have loved jacket and we know you will too.
Despite all the functional features and expert construction, it's the fabric that guarantees our Hunt Safari Jacket will become a lifelong companion. For the sake of our friendship, we'll give you the abbreviated version of the history of ventile. Winston Churchill was tired of his downed pilots dying in the icy North Atlantic water, so he called on the Shirley Institute in Manchester, U.K. to develop something to keep them dry when they were forced to eject into frigid waters. The result of their innovation was the finest natural performance fabric ever created. And it's still used by the Royal Air Force to this day. Only 2% of the world's finest long staple cotton is woven together so densely that it swells to lock out even the slightest bit of moisture, while the same weave provides a completely windproof barrier and will defend you from briars, thistles, insects, or any other painful hindrance in the pursuit of outdoors nirvana. But, because it is 100% natural cotton it breathes as well as your favorite t-shirt. No "stick to your chest" synthetic fabrics here. And the natural materials ensure the gear is extremely quiet in the field--you can't afford to lose the trophy of a lifetime because your field coat is made out of the same material as your wife's yoga attire and shrieks and whistles when you reach for the .416.
100% Cotton. Made in England.
