Brown boots for hunting?

[Tronk]

Hi, I'm new to hunting and was wondering whether I could wear brown long boots? I currently have some black ones which I've hunted & cubbed in but I spotted these http://www.cavaletticlothing.com/sh...mountain-horses-new-regency-high-rider-boots/
and wondered if I should ask Santa for them??! But they're such a lot of money that I don't want to bankrupt Santa for something I can't wear hunting! Thanks.

Brown boots are fine with ratcatcher but not with a black/navy coat. I wear brown for Autumn hunting with my tweed then black with my navy coat.

Thanks Addicted- my OH is very happy with you!! Would you also mind advising- is there any etiquette with regard to whether to wear a navy or black hunting coat? Thank you.

Gentlemen normally wear black on the Opening Meet and thereafter, and ladies can wear either black or navy.

Traditionally ladies wear navy, chaps wear black.

As others have said Gents Black, ladies can be in Navy or Black, it can vary on the hunt but most ladies wear Navy, I prefer navy just look a little less 'harsh' if that makes sense?

In my experience get a good wool coat you can buy new, but I have found some great bargains second hand. There are places that deal in good second hand hunting attire, also eBay.

And you really do get what you pay for. Just make sure it is not a show jacket, or cut like one. And remember you need room for thermals!

My wool hunt coat was practically new off ebay for about £40, I love it!
