German term or phrase: Jagdwams

This is from a fairytale.

Sie eilte dem Ufer zu, dem ein Jüngling, in ein
grünes Jagdwams gekleidet, einen weißen
Hut auf dem goldgelockten Haupte, kunstfertig
zusteuerte.

Hunting jacket?

Danke i.v.

Simon

hunting doublet or hunting vest

Explanation:
I think you mean Jagdwams, not Jagdwarm.

A "Wams" is a doublet, so you could call it a hunting doublet here.
