The photoshoot of the Country Sports Line Autumn/Winter 2022 took place at Bosjökloster (English: Bosjö Abbey) which is a castle located on the shore of Lake Ringsjön in Höör Municipality, in Sweden.

The castle was originally a nunnery, founded in 1080 by the Benedictine Order. The oldest preserved document that mentions Bosjö Abbey was written by Pope Lucius III in 1181, when he confirmed its privileges. The abbey was transformed into a castle in the 16th century, and only parts of the original building remains.

The hunt and field wear from Coloniaire are utility functional, but yet stylish. Handcrafted in durable premium goat suede and tweed with meticulous craftsmanship. The garments are executed with a lot of usefull and stylish detailing and the components are utility designed to fulfill its area of use. 

The first safari jackets date from around 1939, when the rich upper class discovered Africa as a travel and hunting destination. The safari jacket allowed wealthy Europeans, inspired by the fascination of an »unexplored« country, to roam the vastness of the land without the need to carry a bag. In the four front pockets of the safari jacket they stowed their binoculars, notepads, cartridges and all the other essentials for their daily adventures and explorations.
