We knew that sports jackets have come a long way from casual attire for outdoor sports to casual business wear. Unlike business jackets, sports jackets are to be worn not as part of a suit. A shooting jacket, one type of sports jacket, is made for animal hunters or airsoft game players. This jacket has a leather patch in the shoulder area that helps prevent wear due to constant rubbing with the butt of a rifle or shotgun. These are often complemented with leather patches on the elbow portion. Ideally, shooting jackets have to be waterproof as the game is held outdoors. Nowadays, shooting jackets come in various styles so that you will still look good even with the harsh outdoors.
