The Khaki Safari Suit
As a nod to our previous explorer clientele, we have designed the Khaki Safari Jacket with matching pleated shorts. The Safari features out-breast patch pockets and two box pleat pockets with flaps on the hips. The softer collar adds a casual touch, complemented by a wrap around tie belt to accentuate the waist.
Cut from Loro Piana cotton cloth, this striking green echoes the historic safari jackets worn by pioneering figures like Kate Adie, the leading BBC War Correspondent and one of our first female representatives.
The shorts, a new design for Norton & Sons Tailoring for Women, feature a deeper waistband, single outward pleats, and turn-ups, creating a perfect look for casual styles when paired with a linen shirt or t-shirt.
The Safari Jacket Story
Drawing inspiration from our storied tradition of crafting garments for explorers and adventurers, we proudly present the newly designed Norton & Sons Women's Safari Jacket. This piece combines the practicality of our menswear block with our new tailored women's block. We have incorporated princess seams in the back and front darts to impart structure and shape to an otherwise unstructured garment.
Our Safari jackets are fully hand-canvased by our skilled tailors, allowing the fabric to mould perfectly to your body. Each jacket is finished with a full lining, tie belt and tab and horn button cuff fastenings.
