Technical merit with style: the Musto Technical Tweed Shooting Jacket in Carrick Tweed

The cloth composition—wool, Lycra and polyamide—gives their tweed the appearance and durability of a fine wool shooting suit, together with the comfort, flexibility and ease of movement which are vital when shooting. Integral to Musto’s innovation is the way the tweed is woven. Most quality tweed is based on a simple wool weave. Musto cleverly incorporate polyamide to add strength in one direction of weave, and Lycra to add stretch and freedom of movement in the other. In the last analysis, this freedom is what really matters to a shooting man or woman. On top of all this, the blend of fibres improves durability and water-resistance, while an additional Teflon coating helps prevent staining. A BR1 drop liner increases waterproof, windproof and breathable qualities.

Despite all this innovation, it remains true to the original shooting coat construction, including a host of shooting-specific features which include retainer straps to hold open the cartridge pocket when in use, and a storm flap covering the studs to prevent damage to the gun stock. All in all, this jacket well deserves its popularity as the Gun’s choice.
