Would you wear a white stock with tweed jacket?

[huntinghorse]

I am in disagreement with a friend about what to wear with a tweed jacket. I think shirt/tie(showing) or coloured stock(eventing). She thinks is ok to wear white stock. Who is right??

No, tweed should be coloured stock, white with a navy or black show jacket.

I would never where a white stock with tweed, it is just absolutely not correct!

I wouldn't wear a white one but I do have a lovely ivory silk stock that goes really nicely with my green tweed

I always wore a white stock with tweed when I was younger and managed by a woman that was a very experienced horselady.
I would do this again now

No. Correct dress is shirt and tie with tweed or a coloured stock if you must!

Nope, coloured stock=tweed, navy/black=white/cream stock.

Would rather pay a tenner for a coloured stock than wear white.

Well, unless my old age has completely messed my memory up, traditionally a coloured stock was worn with ratcatcher pre the main season, and white with ratcatcher (worn if you weren't a member) after the opening meet. I think its incorrect to wear a coloured stock with a black/blue jacket at any time.

I think my boss would shoot me if I turned up in a tweed with a white stock.

I used to wear a silk cream one with tweed jacket and never had a prob - all these old school rules don't mean so much now............unless you are affiliated to a stuffy club!

It depends.. what are you doing? Are you going to a local show for fun and dont want to spend a fortune, just wear what you have or are you competing at county level? If its a local show you probably dont have to worry much, I mean that in the nicest possible way, our rding club is super friendly and not everyone has the best clothes, we all just have a go and have fun.

Is it for ridden showing?

Does it matter what colour shirt (as in shirt and tie) you wear with tweed?
