Is a tweed shooting jacket the same garment as a hacking jacket?

No is the short answer. A hacking jacket is more like, but not as long the Yellow(known a lemon with that pack of hounds) hunting jacket in the picture ,only in tweed and without the buttons above the single vent at the back and they are more closely cut(tailored) than a shooting coat and with more of a flaired "skirt". A shooting jacket is looser at the shoulders to allow free movement to mount your gun,often they will have "poachers pockets" and often they have twin vents at the back.

Yikes! That's a lot to take in. Thanks for the information.
