Slightly confused

[Wimbles]

Just looking for a bit of advice really. Im going out for a day with The Four Shires in a couple of weeks.

I'm not a regular hunter, I usually go about 6 times a year as I struggle with transport and often have to hack to meets.

I normally wear my tweed and navy stock but last time I went with them everyone else was in Black or Navy Jackets and I felt a bit odd! I do have a black jacket but it's not nearly as warm as my tweed.

Am I wearing the wrong thing any breaking some hunting attire rules? If someone could help I'd be most grateful.

Black/navy is correct during the season (after cubbing/autumn hunting) however, you're never incorrect in tweed! And you have a coloured stock, rather than a tie, which is correct with tweed during the season. I would stick to tweed if it's warmer (as long as you have a pocket for a hip-flask ) and just enjoy. As long as you & your horse are smartly turned out, then you'll be fine

I wear Tweed and I’m usually the only one that’s wearing it, but that’s what I was told to wear by the Hunt Secretary. So I wouldn’t worry if I was you. Just go with your Tweed and enjoy!

Thanks, that makes me feel better. Don't want to be disrespectful or anything. I always make sure we're well turned out!
