Stratton & St. James Outfit, English style according to Beretta

The Beretta Stratton GTX Jacket has a classic and comfortable cut. The outer pockets are roomy and practical. Here it is worn with Corduroy Classic Pants.

The first clothing combination we present today revolves around the Beretta Stratton GTX Jacket, a garment with a measured British flavour, designed for drive hunting in open environments where you need to keep yourself dry. The cut and style are reminiscent of the bucolic English way of life, made up of great hunting trips in the moorland, with hunters often exposed to the proverbially inclement British weather, a mixture of rain and wind that can make outdoor life very unpleasant for those who do not know how to dress appropriately.

The Beretta Stratton GTX Jacket has a classic construction that guarantees maximum freedom of movement, with a removable, preformed "Easy Movement" hood to guarantee a free field of vision and large external pockets closed by a flap. The inner collar is soft microfiber. The Stratton GTX Jacket is fully waterproof and breathable thanks to its polyamide fabric with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment and Z-Liner GORE membrane with elastic inner lining. The side pockets feature a flap fastening tape, while the Napoleon pocket and the inside pocket have YKK zips. Inside there is also a pocket compatible with the Beretta Recoil Reducer EVO recoil pad (not included). The fit is regular while sizes range from Small to 4XL. The Stratton GTX Jacket is available in British Green (...of course) or brown bark, at a price of 550 euros.

The Roe GB jacket is made of Polartec Thermal Pro fabric, with thermal padding and laser perforation to increase breathability.

To face particularly low temperatures, it is advisable to wear under the Stratton GTX a garment that can guarantee a strong protection against the cold, such as the Roe GB Jacket made of Polartec Thermal Pro fabric, with thermal padding and laser perforation for improved breathability. It is a very versatile jacket that can also be worn on its own as a first barrier against the cold in the absence of rain. The Polartec Thermal Pro fabric offers optimal thermoregulation and breathability as well as quick drying.
The Freudenberg Comfortemp padding, capable of conveying the moisture produced by perspiration, is warm, light, flexible and durable and increases the jumper's thermal capacity. The laser perforation on the front increases breathability and ensures excellent thermoregulation. The Beretta Roe GB Jacket has a list price of 229 euros and is made in sizes from S to 4XL in British Green color only.

To complete the British inspiration of this outfit, nothing better than the Beretta Charlow Shirt made of 130 g/m2 polyester twill. It belongs to the Multifield line and this means that the garment is particularly versatile and can be worn for both hunting and leisure after hunting and everyday life. It is a shirt with a concealed button-down collar, a very classic cut, and therefore without breast pockets. It comes in two check patterns on an ivory-white base and in its simplicity helps to define this sober British-style outfit.

Let us now talk about trousers: for the sake of tradition, one should wear classic corduroy trousers, such as the Corduroy Classic Pants in Duca Visconti di Modrone with front pleats and personalized buttons. These trousers with a chino cut are perfect for the gentleman hunter who puts elegant craftsmanship first, where style and fine fabrics are combined with functionality and technicality. The colors available are beige and dark green, with sizes from 46 to 62. The list price of the Corduroy Classic Pants is 195 euros.

For a combination that prioritises protection from the elements and the environment, we would make an exception and recommend a more hi-tech model such as the Tri Active EVO Pants. Available in a men's or women's version, the Beretta Tri-Active EVO pants are suitable for outdoor environments where the silence of materials is essential. Waterproof and breathable thanks to the BWB EVO (Beretta Waterproof Breathable) membrane, it has elastic inserts that ensure maximum freedom of movement. The Tri Active Evo pants are available in sizes from S to 4XL (men) or S/3XL (women) in moss & brown bark or Raltree Max 5 camo. The price for all versions is 219 euros.

Now let's talk about accessories: to protect your hands from the cold, we recommend the Hardface Gloves made of Polartec Hardface material, a patented polymer treatment that is applied to fleece to improve resistance. The Polartec gloves have a non-slip insert on the palm and a touch screen insert on the index finger; thus, they allow the use of smartphones and apps. They are suitable for use between 0° and 10° and are available in sizes Small to XXL in green moss or brown bark. The price is 65 euro. To protect your head from the weather, there is nothing better than the Classic Moleskin Cap made of moleskin with a Beretta Waterproof Breathable EVO membrane in the classic green, light brown and dark brown colors and available on the Beretta e-store in sizes ranging from S to XXL at a price of 89 euros. Let's conclude with footwear: here, too, you can go back to tradition by wearing a pair of rubber boots, or choose a more technical solution, such as the Trail MID GTX Boots, which are designed to cope with the most demanding terrain and the harshest weather conditions. The combination of full-grain leather, GORE-TEX Insulated lining and Vibram StarTrek outsole (with self-cleaning side grooves and lugs on the toe and heel for extra grip on rocky surfaces) makes it ideal for mountain hunting and winter hiking. Its rugged construction and advanced technical features guarantee protection, comfort and durability. The sizes in which they are available range from 40 to 48. The list price is 349 euros.

The St James style for the lady hunter

Beretta also proposes its British style to ladies hunters, with an elegant and refined outfit, suitable both for hunting and for driven hunts and walks in the open countryside. Everything revolves around the St James Jacket/Pants suit made of a warm blend of fine Italian wool and 330 g cashmere with eco suede details. This line celebrating British style was born from the experience developed at the Beretta Gallery on St James Street in London, and takes its name and the exclusivity of its materials while maintaining its tradition. The St James Coat offers sought-after details such as the front patch pockets with Beretta triangle closure and eco suede detail, the personalized buttons and the "Beretta Hands Free" shoulder straps. The back gussets facilitate movement during English Drive. In addition, Beretta's St James Woman waterproof hunting jacket features internal pockets designed to accommodate the Beretta Recoil Reducer, a gel pad that reduces felt recoil on the shooter's shoulder. The St James Coat is available in different fabric colors which we invite you to discover on the Beretta e-store. The retail price is 780 euros. The jacket is matched with the St James Breeks, made in the women's version in sizes 36 to 52 and inspired by classic knickerbockers, they have elasticated cotton cuffs that guarantee maximum comfort when worn with boots. They are made of fine Italian wool and 330 g cashmere and are waterproof and breathable thanks to the BWB EVO membrane. For this garment too, we invite you to discover the sizes and colours available in the Beretta online shop. The price of the St James Breeks is 450 euros. The classic St James Cap is also made from the same fabric as the jacket and breeks and costs 99 euros.

Completing the driven hunting look are the Terrier GTX Boots designed for active hunting, with uppers made of water-repellent leather and Cordura, ideal for walking on dry terrain on both plains and hills. The GORE-TEX Prism lining guarantees excellent waterproofing and breathability, further enganced by the 3D mesh. The PU wedge ensures comfort and mobility as well as excellent wear resistance. Available sizes range from 36 to 47 with a price tag of 125 euros.
