What style of jacket would this be?

[Alistair-L]

I've spotted this photograph and quite like the style of jacket. It appears to be in wool and is in a tunic-style blazer. I was wondering what kind of jacket is this and if I could find something similar to it?

Thank you

This would be a tunic-style blazer with bloody great tin cloth wings by Mr Freedom. For an extra $136 you can upgrade those wings to 2.5oz goat hide.

Possibly a Norfolk Jacket

There's a lot going on in that photograph...
Only a true jacket fiend would be able to see past that portly wannabe Icarus and zero in on the coat he was wearing!

It’s a bat jacket!

Hey, did you notice he’s smoking a pipe? Hilarious. Love it!

Photo taken seconds before his demise...jacket now available, slightly used.

Quite an interesting photograph indeed. The prices for such jackets is quite steep but at least the type can be identified. Thanks for suggestions and a good head to find similar jackets.

It's seems to be a period tweed jacket. The 1970's produced similar Norfolk inspired styles to this (bellows patch pockets, belted back) and I imagine $10 will get you one if you can find it. Or $50 on eBay. I've seen dozens over the years but they are harder to find.

I'd agree with the posters above saying to search for a Norfolk Jacket.

I had one similar which was a Lands End jacket from the 80/90s which I did indeed pick up quite cheaply. I sold it a few months ago as, nicely made as it was, I just didn't wear it. I did see a corduroy one by Ralph Lauren recently though I'm sure many other makers sell them too, if you didn't want to go vintage.


Found an alternative image here as well. Great photos.

I thought the image looked a little contemporary and indeed it is, theres a bit about the background on the photographers website; http://www.blog-lwinram.com/2014/03/14/otto-flies/

Ill fitting. Just look at those bat wings! Worst I've ever seen!

There's a jacket in more the lines I'm looking for!

Coincidentally came across this today which made me thing of this thread. Difficult to see if the jacket in the photo has chest pockets or not. From a brand called R95th apparently.
