Half Norfolk Brown Tweed Jacket

The origins of this jacket trace back to the classic sports coat worn by British aristocrats during riding and hunting in the latter half of the 19th century, known as the 'Half Norfolk Jacket.' Renowned for their passion for sports, British aristocrats often considered horseback riding a compulsory pursuit. During autumn, they would assemble teams for countryside hunts.

The unique design of the Norfolk jacket allowed nobles ample upper body mobility during physical activity while maintaining an elegant fit for leisurely occasions, thus gaining widespread popularity. Over time, it evolved into a quintessential garment of leisurewear in the latter half of the 19th century, remaining an irreplaceable classic to this day.

After centuries of refinement and evolution, the Norfolk jacket has inspired a variety of different clothing styles. Its timeless design has also contributed significantly to the Ivy style aesthetic.
