{"product_id":"shooting-waistcoats","title":"Shooting Waistcoats","description":"\u003cp\u003eA shooting waistcoat is one of the most practical pieces of traditional shooting clothing. It keeps your core warm between drives, holds cartridges within easy reach and sits neatly under a coat or on its own on a mild day. When the birds start coming, a well-cut waistcoat lets you concentrate on the shot rather than on what you are wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShooting Waistcoat or Shooting Vest?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe terms are often used interchangeably. In Britain, a shooting waistcoat usually means a tailored, buttoned garment in tweed or moleskin, while a shooting vest often describes a more technical or clay-style design with large cartridge pockets and a padded shoulder. Both serve the same purpose: warmth and storage without restricting your arms. Our range covers both, with shooting vests for men and women in traditional and modern styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTweed Shooting Waistcoats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tweed shooting waistcoat is a classic part of driven-day dress, often worn as part of a matching three-piece with jacket and breeks. A tweed shooting vest adds warmth and texture under a coat, and on warmer early-season days it can be worn with just a shirt and tie. Look for cartridge pockets with secure flaps, a lined back for comfort and a cut that lets you mount and swing without pulling across the shoulders. Moleskin waistcoats are a warm, washable alternative that suits regular use.

Womens shooting waistcoat styles are cut for a proper fit through the waist and bust. Check that pockets open easily with gloved hands and that flaps stay closed when you bend.
