I wear past army clothes, just trousers, shirt with t-shirt underneath. Also Meindl Himalaya for footwear, and hunt wild partridge mostly and hare in a very rough mountain terrain in Cyprus (Odou village). Everything is torn up by the end of the season, especially trousers. Different area, different style.
FIY. Queen Victoria's son, The prince of Wales, was an avid shooter, he was also a big guy. He often didn't fasten the last button on his waistcoat because it made the garment tight and uncomfortable to shoot in. Thus the tradition began.
Do you have the capability to get hold of a 725 game g5 to give an overview of it as It would be very interesting to get your opinions on from a person in the know.....
Can you hunt deer in the UK? If so do you wear the same clothing or is this just for bird hunting? Would be fun to deer hunt with a No. 1 Mk 4 Lee Enfield.
Personally I think it’s very subjective, I never understand the whole no zip up, I can’t get comfortable in them otherwise. I prefer a shooting waistcoat myself, but wear a Barbour over or Tweed Shooting jacket if the weather looks like it may turn or it’s cold. And in my area garters are on show no need to specifically tuck them in.
The bottom button of the waistcoat is left unfastened as a famous royal shot got too fat to fasten his and everyone copied him because he was the king.
In Texas if you dressed like this they would wonder what planet you came from. Blue jeans, long sleeve shirt and hiking boots is what we wear. Then again, most hunters in the state use 3 shots for migratory birds. I use a beretta 686 which makes me unique, now all I need to do is dress up and wear a tie.
I was going to say the same think about chukar hunting in Nevada in this gitup. You dress like your going for a sheep hunt when you go after these birds! However when in Rome.
What I dare to bet a lot of us also would've loved to see, is how these shooting socks and garters should be worn and tied ;). Also, a slight note on those socks: if the tie isn't green, should it be in the same color as the garters or rim of the socks? Any color considerations to note when selecting socks? (somewhere else on RUclips, someone mentioned the color of your dog)
YaoiMastah The whole is very subjective, I pick my socks in accordance, with the intersecting colour lines within my tweed breeks, so that the top rim of the sock where the pattern is matches the breeks intersecting colour. The garters usually come with the socks unless they’re cheaper, so no need to pick as such. They prefer to tuck garters in but again that’s subjective I like to have them dangle about an inch or two on the outside of the wellington boots.
If I went shooting dressed like that in Michigan, other hunters would give me some strange looks. (But really just because they'd be secretly jealous.)
I’d estimate $1500-2000 for the whole ball of wax….tweed is pricey but will last forever, I mean you aren’t really walking through brush like walk up bird shooting as we do in the US…something like that tweed suit is more for driven shooting where there isn’t much chance to damage your clothes
For a more casual shoot, I would suggest corduroy breeks. A hunting jumper with v-neck instead of a waistcoat. And a more modest cotton tie (which is easier to clean if it collects mud, or pieces of the sausage or pork pie you just gobbled down from the back of the Landrover).
Casual shoots still uphold etiquette, so tweed breeks should still be worn if you have them, although mole skin breeks aren’t frowned upon. As mentioned jumper and Schöffel will do the trick although those can also be seen on commercial shoot days.
No it doesn’t. If you’d like to blend in with the rest of the Tom, Dick and Harry then by all means go ahead. I personally chose to change this season to a darker brown. If you follow social media such as Hotshotlittle on Instagram or Facebook you’ll see he sports a purple tweed. My favourite though has to be of one of the guns, he was wearing a navy with dark blue check.
May I make a suggestion? A pair of braces would be better than the belt to hold up his trousers. The belt creates a most unsightly bulge beneath his waistcoat.
Adrian Fern About that but corners can be cut, no need for leather lined or Zip up, could always get their buckle ones which are cheaper. Could also negate the waist coat and wear a jumper or Schöffel instead.
My setup totalled 280 euros (approximately), the tweed breeks were the most expensive (120 euros). The shirt the cheapest (7 euros at the outdoor & army surplus store).
Whilst I couldn't disagree that he did look the "traditional" part, the whole ensemble cost what??? There are more relaxed game days and syndicate shoots where the dress code is more relaxed, and turning up dressed like a "toff" will get you ridiculed.
I hate ties, a useless symbol of subservience and I don’t do subservience. The field coat is a poor second to a standard issue US army field jacket, a truly exceptional example of form and function. The older its gets the harder it looks and looking inbred just is not my style.
In the US, appropriate clothing in the field varies a great deal by geography and quarry. Why the Brits. tolerate waxed cotton or linen jackets/coats is beyond me. They are hot, don't breathe and quickly become very uncomfortable. Rubber Wellingtons are also uncomfortable, esp. the tall ones. They may be all right for the first mile or so of walking, but after that...well, there are much better choices. Maybe they are OK if you're going to be walking in ankle-deep mud all day, but wants to hunt that?
The English always have to be dapper about how they dress even to go hunting. No self-respecting American hunter would sport a tie afield in his right mind. I'm all about function, comfort and personal safety for clothing outdoors. I'm not into fashions.
I think Plus fours outdo ever other type of outdoor trouser, and if they did technical material ones with big pockets I would wear them over trousers as a preference for any outdoor activity
Never worn any so can't honestly say yet wool seems only ever to serve sheep in the wet. However my point was more to do with our entrenched focus on style over substance. Example Barbour.. Has there ever been a better chocolate fireguard!

You have to look sharp on the field. You never know when you're going to run into a cute squirrel.
Fact
Squirrel proceeds to get eaten and disembowelled alive by dog.
Nice setup. A tweed flat cap would have topped it all off nicely and...to hell with with the hair do!
Cool! What a great culture of hunting! Nice clothes, good classic guns, great nature what else you need?
a small tot of sloe gin and the package is complete!
Dead animals! Love a dead animal. I hate animals so much I just love shooting them makes me feel good
My diy shoot in England is not so formal but the tie is a must!Great vids look forward to the nexed👍

As an American, I wish we could wear this instead of the ridiculous outfits we have to wear with the tacky blaze orange, This is much better

love the dog

Wouldn’t mind wearing this ensemble once in a while whilst my camo is in the dryers... 😂
The original camo
lol brings back memories of my keepering days
Stuart Dickson tell more
So much better then the classic Australian jeans t-shirt and thongs... 🤗
"suit your sir" ...hahahaha
2:45 he doesn’t believe that a man walked on the moon
I hope he isn’t being serious
Matthew Sharples Me too!
Matthew Sharples me to
What would you guys suggest for weekend shoots with the mates, bottoms you dont worry about getting dirty and muddy.
On walked up game?
What should ladies wear? Also, is a hat a must (as I've never found one that looks any good on me!)?
James Adlington Flat cap. Unfortunately it’s a get used to it or don’t wear one.
Can you hunt deer in the UK? If so do you wear the same clothing or is this just for bird hunting? Would be fun to deer hunt with a No. 1 Mk 4 Lee Enfield.
For deer or elk you generally make more concessions to practicality, so the tweed is usually swapped for a waxed cotton shooting jacket.

How on show are your garters? usually they would show out, but dan has rather short legs
The bottom button of the waistcoat is left unfastened as a famous royal shot got too fat to fasten his and everyone copied him because he was the king.
Correct ! It was King Edward VII affectionately known as "Tum Tum"

Thank you for the tips! Going on my first simulated bird shoot, tweeds are mandatory.

Breeks and British SxS’s are what all the fashionable Cessna drivers are using these days! 😁👍🏼
How much would this outfit cost please ?
What are the green shirts you all wear around the shop while at work, they are rather a good smart casual, wouldn't mind one.
They are discontinued now, but are deerhunter bamboo 'Evan' shirts
What I dare to bet a lot of us also would've loved to see, is how these shooting socks and garters should be worn and tied ;).

what is the coat that was put on dan
What is the total price of that entire set of clothes? (excluding the boots)
I’d estimate $1500-2000 for the whole ball of wax….tweed is pricey but will last forever, I mean you aren’t really walking through brush like walk up bird shooting as we do in the US…something like that tweed suit is more for driven shooting where there isn’t much chance to damage your clothes
Would you consider reviewing a Browning Heritage Hunter?
If we had one, we would, but we don't do a great deal with Browning
So how much did this whole set up come too minus the wellies
I'd say £800 all In
I do enjoy your videos as always excellent, Dan made a great manikin, but not a fan of those breeks lol!!!
Great video, please make more videos like this. Maybe one for a more casual shoot day.
For a more casual shoot, I would suggest corduroy breeks. A hunting jumper with v-neck instead of a waistcoat. And a more modest cotton tie (which is easier to clean if it collects mud, or pieces of the sausage or pork pie you just gobbled down from the back of the Landrover).
YaoiMastah ok thankyou

Cute couple :-P
What brand of clothes ?
I put my socks over my breeks and then put my socks on my buckle
Well dapper
Fact
What brand is all the tweed?
Alan Paine
King Edward was so portly that he was unable to fasten the bottom button - the look caught on and became stylish.
I love that jacket what’s it called?
It's called a shooting coat or field coat.
👌👌👌
shouldn't the socks go over the the top of his boots ?
will you keep all music and talking on the same volume !!!
Can you wear tweed trousers rather than breeks?
Stalin ye I’m pretty sure
Is he going to a wedding
Are those two very short, or are you exceptionally tall?
They are both registered hobbits
What style hat, would he wear? In UK.
A flat cap. an 8 piece cap or if hes eccentric whatever he likes!
The Gun Shop Enjoy the channel.. greetings from Texas
does it have to be green tweed?
Will Forsyth ideally yes. I wouldn’t go a different colour
Green corduroy is fine too.
No it doesn’t. If you’d like to blend in with the rest of the Tom, Dick and Harry then by all means go ahead. I personally chose to change this season to a darker brown.

yeah I got a nice herringbone brown tweed that I think will look the part
Lol! Always a bit stuffy with you brits.
May I make a suggestion? A pair of braces would be better than the belt to hold up his trousers. The belt creates a most unsightly bulge beneath his waistcoat.
why are you leaving the breaks, socks and boots so shabby ?
what would you rather?
@@tgsoutdoors nice and tight, as one should
All that jazz and the people I beat for still couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo In short looks don't make a shooter
Suit makers name?
Alain Payne
All yours for about, what, £900 to £1k?
Adrian Fern About that but corners can be cut, no need for leather lined or Zip up, could always get their buckle ones which are cheaper. Could also negate the waist coat and wear a jumper or Schöffel instead.

Also suitable attire for vegans when hunting couscous at Aldi.

horrible sound management.

This is not longer 1885 we do not have to spend 3.000 in clothing to go shutting!!!! Silly,,,
Learn how to spell before talking rubbish
those boots are a shame. Get some red leather boots boys

Typical Brit sporting fashion. Totally unsuitable for the country side with honourable exception to the wellies and jacket(maybe).
I think Plus fours outdo ever other type of outdoor trouser, and if they did technical material ones with big pockets I would wear them over trousers as a preference for any outdoor activity

What are wellies?
@@fenomeno71 Wellington Boots. Depending on where you're from you might know them as Gum Boots any number of other things.
