Here's the latest development sample of the hunting jacket, which is lacking buttons (which I think will go a long way to completing the look of the jacket) but which otherwise I'd say is 95% of the way there.
It has a capped shoulder, which gives it the fit and feel of a two-piece raglan sleeve (which is good) but also the seam across the front and back, and across the sleeves, which presents plenty of fun design opportunity and an open-goal for combining materials (which is quite common in hunting jackets of a certain era).
And there's as much work in the back of it as the front, with a half belt, gusseted shoulders, and poachers pocket. It's one of the more handsome jackets we've done when viewed from the back, and certainly the one with the most work in it.
It's kept us busy, this one!
