Teba jacket
A Teba jacket is a soft, single-breasted jacket, unpadded throughout the chest and shoulders, and featuring shirt-like sleeves, ventless backs, and notchless lapels.[1] It was originally designed as a shooting blazer that would not make it difficult to raise the elbow when firing.[2] It was first tailored in Zarautz (Spain), and was named after the 22nd Count of Teba, Carlos Alfonso Mitjans y Fitz-James Stuart, who was given a similar garment as a gift by Alfonso XIII during a partridge driven hunt in Spain.[3] The Teba jacket has since been used not only as the utmost iconic piece of Spanish countrywear,[4] but also as a city outfit due to its popularity throughout the world.[5] From the beginning, Teba jackets developed a strong association with the aristocratic land-owning upper classes.[6]
