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. It was originally designed as a shooting blazer that would not make it difficult to raise the elbow when firing. It was first tailored in Zarautz, 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. The Teba jacket has since been used not only as the utmost iconic piece of Spanish countrywear, but also as a city outfit due to its popularity throughout the world. From the beginning, Teba jackets developed a strong association with the aristocratic land-owning upper classes.
