The Earl of Leicester, also known as the Coke of Norfolk hosted hunting events with many English noblemen in the 1820s. They adopted a design similar to a shooting jacket, as this allowed them to carry various tools required for their hunting.

Does a flack jacket offer more protction from bullets than kevlar?

Kevlar is a tightly woven fabric designded to slow the speed of a bullet, the idea behind this being that if the bullet is traveling slower then it will cause less damage. Early flak jackets consisted of a jacket with metal plate(s) inside the jacket. The plates were known as ballistic plates. These early jackets were fairly ineffective because they took the force of the bullet and transfered the force to the balistic plates which would conviently slam into your ribs while someone is shooting at you. This would easily knock the wind out of you, more times then not, brake one or more ribs, and not all the times work. When kelvar was invented its lighter weight was utalized in flak jackets and they became much more efective. So in answer to the question,early jackets with balistic plates were more effective then kevlar, because it wasn't invented at the time, but when it was it ws used in jackets so it's essentially the same thing.

What breeds did the American Quarter horse originate from?

The Norfolk Roadster or Norfolk Trotter gave rise to all the modern breeds of racehorse except the Arab. Quarter horses were bred specifically to cover a short distance (1-3 furlongs) at great speed, hence their name. The other breeds that went into the QH would include Spanish horses but the Norfolk Roadster (which later became known as the hackney) would be the origin. This in turn was bred from Cleveland bays and Arab-type horses.
