Nothing makes a statement in the hunt field than a well-fitted frock coat. The elegant look of the longer length, more form-fitting through the mid section, with additional buttons on the back draw ladies to sport this look. These highly sought after "jewels" are not as easy to find as regular tweed hacking jackets, mainly due to the fact that they are not being made in mass production.
Most frock coats are vintage and hard to find. Names like Caldene, Brittany, Harry Hall and Pytchley are a few of the manufacturers that made these beauties. The quality and craftsmanship of these vintage coats are rarely seen in coats made off the rack today. You can still find bespoke tailors like Showtime Tailoring (England) or Bob Ermilio (NY) to make you a custom frock, but the price tag is hefty. If you are looking for a bargain sometimes you can be one of the lucky ones to score one in a thrift store, consignment shop, or even an estate sale. Whether you are looking for one to keep your legs warm and dry on those cold rainy hunt days, or you just want to make a statement the frock coat is the way to go!
