where do you get your shirts from to hunt in?

When i used to do local shows i was still at school so used to wear a school shirt and it didn't really matter. So just wondering if its worth popping to the local tack shop to get a shirt or if i could get any plain white shirt from anywhere? and if it would be best to be long or short sleaved(sp) ? I've been told to wear a hacking jacket and tie which i have i just don't want to make a complete arse out of myself lol.

As you can tell i am a bit of a newbie when it comes to all things hunt related so thanks in advance!

Seeing spots - it's not a daft question, don't worry! If you are concerned about "correctness" of your appearance, then don't be. Whatever you have will be fine - only the collar will show so a plain white shirt will serve. If you want practicality then as Combat Claire suggests - I really would recommend a thermal shirt if you hunt later in the season. At the very least, wear some thermals under your regular shirt!

Joules have some lovely thick lightly checked cotton shirts in their new range that are ideal under a tweed jacket (thanks mum- she bought me two at Thame!)

I stole my hunt shirts from my son's wardrobe. They were brand new cheap white shirts from Asda. lol

I will be getting an eque-tech hunt shirt to use over winter though.

For autumn hunting I wore a normal short sleeve stock shirt as had a coloured stock to wear. I was a bit chilly though this weekend so will add another layer for next time.

I have a Musto Base Layer to wear when it gets colder, will wear that underneath the normal shirt, possibly another layer then hunt coat... layers are the way to go!

I wear old white school shirts for cubbing with a coloured tie, and for proper hunting I wear a hunt shirt from rideaway, i think its shires and only cost about £15, I wear that with a cream stock.

A plain shirt is fine, cream white blue whatever!:)
