What is a Hacking Jacket?
A tweed jacket with flap pockets placed at an angle, originally designed for easy access while horse riding with a strong silhouette, and pronounced shoulders.
Hacking Jackets got their name from the word Hack, meaning a rented horse, informal riding for pleasure, a horse for hire, a horse for riding or pulling a carriage.
A gentleman might well have taken a leisurely hack across his land to check that all was is in good order, for this he needed a jacket that was hard-wearing, allowed freedom of movement, easy access to his pockets ( when on a horse slant pockets sit straight ), protection from the weather, trees and bushes etc and he would still look good after his ride.
