Functional features are the key to Beretta’s Waxwear Field Jacket. Ambidextrous recoil patches, upper hand hook pockets, and reinforcements to the sleeves all work to allow the best possible garment performance. Construction, as well, is all about arm movement.

Available at fine gun shops like the Grouse Perch in Old Saybrook, CT.

Check this quilted firing jacket from Michael Bastian as part of his Autumn/Winter 2009 collection. As Colette puts it, “he mixes everything, flannel suit with big pullovers, elegant jackets with military pants and squared shirts under a jacket or around the waist. An attractive harmonious shambles!” Check the removable sleeves. Is it proper to call it a puffa? (colette)

Made of oak and leather, the chair is low slung, but also adjustable for optimum comfort. (Via Retro to Go).
