When thinking about “preppy” clothing, hunting jackets are probably not near the forefront of most peoples minds.  At Bows & Boats, we are big on things that serve a function and do it well, hence our rationale for keeping a simple hunting jacket in our rotation.  Of course, it may not fit in at the local country club, but a paired with the right pieces, a well made hunting jacket can be a great addition to your wardrobe.  If you are in the market, we recommend the Quilted Primaloft V-neck Hunting Jacket ($149) by Orvis.

It should be no surprise that Orvis, a company founded over 150 years ago to sell fly fishing gear, is our choice when it comes to hunting jackets.  With a long history of providing high quality goods to outdoorsmen across the globe, Orvis is a great choice when looking for functional pieces to add to your closet.  Available in olive green with a classic diamond quilted pattern, patented Primaloft quilted lining, and a waxed shell, this hunting jacket is a great choice for those cold drizzly days when you just have to be out and about.
