Stock or tie with tweed jacket?

[jane1234]

I am going out early season with B&B this weekend so will be wearing a tweed jacket, not a black hunt coat. Is it proper to wear a shirt and tie or a coloured stock with a tweed jacket - does it really matter?

And I have been told only staff horses need to be plaited?

I would say shirt and tie, went out a week or so ago and this was what the majority wore.

A Shirt and Tie until 1st October, then a Coloured Stock - but not set in concrete. Also, "rat-catcher" after Cheltenham in March. No need to plait until The Opening Meet. Have fun.

A coloured tie or a coloured stock is fine with a tweed jacket!

you should wear a white stock for hunting whether wearing a tweed jacket or hunt jacket or for cubbing you should wear shirt and tie or coloured stock with tweed jacket

hope this helps

I've heard this quoted before but think it's a fairly recent invention. I always believed you didn't wear ratcatcher again until the start of the new season on 1st May.

But then, of course, I could be wrong.

Sorry to have to disagree - but never, ever a White Stock with Tweed. Coloured with Tweed and White or Cream with a Black or Navy Coat.

Agree with Mr Woof, why do people post when they don't know the answer!!

Coloured stock with tweed (try to make it tone at least slightly!) or a shirt and tie (not white tie - pony club tie good on children).

White hunting tie with navy/black coat, not with tweed. Collar and tie with tweed, coloured stock with tweed if you don't have collar and tie. We wear tweed after cheltenham but if its awful weather we revert to black hunt coat !
