Irish Hacking Jacket.
---------------------
Hacking?
What does it mean?
It means fooling around.
On a horse.
Informally.
That, of course, means fooling around pretty
gracefully, which has always been the advantage of being
around horses.
They make us feel and look graceful. They show us
how it's done.
(Cows do not. Neither do chickens. Nor do dogs, even
though we love 'em.)
Human clothing based on the things that horses have
taught us over the years and centuries is itself pretty
graceful stuff.
You won't go wrong wearing such things.
This timeless Irish Hacking Jacket is such a thing.
It's fun to wear. It makes you feel and look graceful.
Being a true thoroughbred, it puts you at ease
immediately.
Pure-wool Irish tweed, itself a work of art. Complex
browns, dark moss greens, still darker deep-water blues,
near black and minute, exuberant flickerings of rust.
Fully lined. Muted-green velvet collar. Flap pockets,
angled. Center vent. 3 buttons. Slightly fitted.
A classic.
Sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14
Price: $331. We pay shipping.
