MODEL WEARS MEDIUM: Chest 41” // Waist 32” // Height 5ft 11”
Inspired by a hunting jacket found in a vintage store last year - The waxed-coated canvas had aged beautifully, and it came complete with a pocket for nearly every purpose.
As a photographer, Phil immediately imagined a jacket that could provide him with the function he needed for a photo shoot and the movement required to carry out his work. The Weston Field Jacket was born and carried the distinguished hallmarks of an &SONS piece.
Phil says "I've been an advertising photographer for 30 years now, and I have never really found a creative's work jacket that was both practical and looked cool. The only choice seemed to be a naff vest with loads of tiny pockets.
Edward Weston is one of my favourite photographers and I studied his work and approach at University. He also had great style. So I started to design a jacket that was fit for purpose, one that balanced technical features with a cool style - that would protect my shoulders and elbows, allow me to have all my kit in the many different pockets and ultimately protect me from the elements."

ORIGINS
Thought to have originated in the mid-1800s, the hunting jacket was a weatherproof, mid-length jacket made to conceal and carry numerous shooting paraphernalia.
Further popularised in the late 1800s by the gentry and royals, the jacket has remained a hardy favourite for these social sporting events.
Today, well-known British and American brands have a hunting-style jacket in their collections but are made for the more modern man, seen as an adventure jacket to protect against the weather whilst out walking, hiking or out on the motorcycle. What's remained is the sturdy wax-coated fabric, oversized pockets and thick lining to provide warmth and comfort.
