Made to Order

Introducing the Gentleman Bob Sportsman's Jacket, a collaboration between Hound & Hare and Ermilio Clothiers that brings together sporting heritage, distinctive Scottish materials and traditional tailoring expertise.

The idea began with my desire to recreate the character of a vintage 1950s hunting coat that belonged to my uncle. When that approach proved impractical, I turned to a material I know well: Scottish dry wax.

Working with Bob Ermilio of Ermilio Clothiers, whose decades of design and tailoring experience helped bring the vision to life. Together, we developed a jacket that draws on traditional sporting design while embracing hard-wearing materials suited to the sporting life.

The jacket features Scottish Halley Stevensons dry wax cotton, a material central to Hound & Hare's product philosophy, alongside our registered Scottish Hound & Hare tartan lining. Tartan details beneath the pocket flaps and collar provide distinctive finishing touches. Working together, we refined the cut, pockets, buttons and other details, bringing together Bob's tailoring expertise and design experience with Hound & Hare's sporting vision and distinctive materials. 

The name Gentleman Bob Sportsman's Jacket reflects the sporting character at the heart of Hound & Hare. Its vintage-inspired label features a bow-tied bobwhite quail that is a playful nod to Bob Ermilio and his decades of dedication to sportsman's design and tailoring.

The result is a jacket that reflects what can happen when a distinctive sporting vision meets generations of tailoring experience.

Conceived by Hound & Hare. Brought to life with Ermilio Clothiers. Built for the Sporting Life.
