Description of a "Norfolk" Jacket
Sports coats are quite popular today but their origins lay in the riding jackets of the 19th century and the Norfolk jacket, which is one of the most characteristic sports coats ever invented. Probably the most classic version of the Norfolk jacket, is the "Full Norfolk," which is a single breasted tweed coat with three or four front buttons and a full belt. The belt of the classic version features a closure and goes all around the waist, without being attached to the pleats. The shoulders are enforced with a second layer of cloth. The vent is centered and the buttons are leather, wood or horn, since it is considered classic country attire. The "Half Norfolk Jacket" is half of the same, with only half of a belt around the back attached to the jacket.
(Holland & Holland does not have a Full Norfolk Jacket in their current line up, but for purposes of comparison, their current "Half Norfolk Jacket" is priced at $1,160.00 USD)
