Shooting jacket

[yorkiets]

Does anyone have a shooting jacket that I can use for 10m standing and prone, they are looking to pass on? I'm around 42-44" chest, I think this may correspond to size 52 or 54 jackets (someone correct me if I'm wrong please)

Cheers

Steve.

Should I go for leather or is canvas ok?

Still trying to find a jacket.

Canvas is fine for both 10m air and prone. Canvas is stiffer than leather so offers greater support. A good quality canvas jacket will have leather sections at the joints and neck for ease of movement anyway. The only advantages that leather enjoys are moulding to the body a bit quicker, and being easier to clean.

Synthetic fabrics that combine the strength of canvas with the suppleness of leather have been available for about ten years, but usually only found in more expensive jackets.
