Another beautiful piece of British made countrywear. Great condition. There's a tiny bit of stitching coming apart on the corner of one of the 3 outer pockets, invisible when worn. I'll add some photos of this.

Characteristics of the Hacking Jacket, a general guide:

Due to its informal nature, a hacking jacket is generally always made of tweed and not of the more formal melton cloth or cavalry twill used for more formal horseback attire. Generally, it features 3 or four (single breasted) leather or horn buttons in the front, short lapels, a throat tab, a long center vent, a full cut skirt, two side pockets, a ticket pocket as well as a flapped outside chest pocket. On the inside, you will find a large poachers pocket in case you need to pick up something. Usually, all pockets are cut rather roomy and sometimes they are also slanted, which is why pockets with a slant are often referred to as hacking pockets. To protect the wearer from the elements, the fabric is sometimes backed with some waterproof material and the cuffs may be fitted with windproof wrist lining, while the back is often lined in a checked wool for extra warmth.

And some more about the jacket's specifics:

A fine quality jacket in iconic vintage Pytchley tweed, made by Phillips and Piper of Ipswich in Suffolk.. The workshop closed back in 1982.

Pytchley tweed is renowned for being hard wearing, some with tight weaves, thornproof, or just made to last and ideally for the sporting gentleman who enjoys riding, shooting, hunting and the outside country life.

This jacket is beautifully tailored and is in excellent condition, the tweed still vibrant in shades of fawn, rust, burgundy, forest green and ochre.
