posh hacking gear

Doesn't it hurt men to ride in jeans though? Bloomin hurts me an I'm a laydee...no I really am!
Something about the meeting point of four seams being in an anatomically tender spot?!

I think we definitely need a report after the event OP!

YES!

Can you bring a selection? Bring a "posh" outfit and a "not so posh" outfit, and see what everyone else turns up in - then go and change appropriately!
I don't know any "very posh" horsey types but haven't actually seen anyone going for a casual hack out in a tweed jacket before.. though maybe bring one in the car just incase? Brown/dark beige breeches / long boots... barbour coat?? Definitely don't go out and buy a whole new wardrobe though, hopefully they're after your company and won't be too interested in what you're wearing!
Ps - agree with what everyone says about making sure an item of clothing looks worn, don't look too polished or as if you've just stepped out of a catalogue!

Good luck , let us know how it goes!
 
See, the thought of what to wear for a hack wouldn't have even crossed my mind ... And I'm a bit of a fashionista away from horses, but a hack with friends is surely just a hack with friends and not a fashion show?

Wear whatever you are comfortable in :)

Eunuch :D

CarlBarl - If you can/do ride wear whatever you would normally wear, but make sure it is clean.

If you don't ride, I would respectfully decline :D

DON'T go suited and booted - peers/gentry or not. It'll be like you're taking the piddle. And you will run risk of being given either a cowbag or a demonic creature on the the basis you have all the gear (non-dropped leather boots are always a give away of 'all the gear and no idea') and should know your stuff.
 
Assuming you are serious my OH would wear what he always wears for hacking his khaki breeches a checked shirt his Barbour waist coat and either his brown long boots or his ariats and brown chaps and his hat because I would kill him if he did not.
 
Ha ha, my brother was offered the chance to go humting in exmoor last season with some very wealthy friends, having not ridden for 20 years! He was very gung ho ( used to ride my very strong TB whom I hunted) but sobered up rapidly when I pointed out the inhrrent dangers of hunting across exmoor after such a long gap! went from costume query to fitness and safety concerns!
