Hi - a tweed jacket will be fine out hunting. You don't have to wear a black or blue jacket. If you start hunting regularly you might want to invest in one because they keep you warm and dry, but it's never incorrect to wear tweed. Your hat will be fine too.

Don't get too worried about dressing 'correctly'. Most hunts will welcome you as a new member and would prefer that you came and enjoyed yourself, than stayed at home because you didn't have all the gear.

Hope you have a great day!
