For working hunter and hunting.

Blue, brown, green, grey? Neddie is bright bay and has dark brown tack.

My daughter has a bright bay with brown tack & she wears greeny tweed with navy collar & wears a navy hat. This combination looks really smart.

I like green on bays. Definately not brown!

If you have a black velvet hat and don't want to shell out on a new blue one, then I'd go for a grey tweed (there are some very nice nice ones around if you get a good quality one).
If your hunting then really shouldn't be in a tweed anyway, only the juniors are in ratcatchers unless your cubbing, you can get away with it but its not correct.

Oh really? That's good then

Grey as opposed to blue tweed?

Thanks!

Grey/blue tweed is rarely seen in show rings.....and I'm afraid a black hat for ladies is a no-no.
I'd recommend a greeny tweed (or a greeny brown with brighter overcheck) with red/burgundy tie and navy hat if you want to be correct.
And brown gloves/cane. Definitely not black as this is for mourning and is totally incorrect in the show ring.

Ah, well working hunter is next summer, this season it's winter, so as long as I can wear my black jacket and black hat for that then I'm happy

I'll get the WH kit for next year

Thanks!

Tweed is correct for Working Hunter.....

Not blue tweed and not a light grey (there are various grey tweeds wich have the brown running through them, there not completely all grey but some will go with a black velvet hat) people don't always have the money to buy a new hat so you make the best out of what you have already got, basically there are fashions, at the moment your dark herringbone green/brown tweed is the 'in thing' at both local and county level but if your showing at local level (just in case you are) then your not going to get judged on the colour of your tweed jacket, so long as you match up and have smart all round appearance, your attire and your horses tack is all correct and your horse goes well, that is all you need to worry about.

I mean as long as I can wear my black jacket and black hat (showjumping) for this winters hunting, then I can wait a year before i need to get stuff for WH.

Green.

Shires do a couple of lovely green tweed/herringbone ones with blue velvet trim....they are very good quality and cost about £80 I think.

Have a look on e-bay.....
