A Norfolk jacket is a loose, belted, single-breasted jacket with box pleats on the front and back. The style was long popular for boys' jackets and suits and is still used in some (primarily military and police) uniforms. It was originally designed as a hunting jacket to be worn by the Duke of Norfolk and his guests whilst hunting on his estate and became fashionable in the early nineteenth century after the Prince Regent ordered one made for himself.
