What to wear on a pheasant shoot?

I Googled the season 5 episode and there she was in a beautiful tweed suit, gloves, felt hat, and boots. It wasn’t so much what she was wearing, but the colors of what she was wearing. This was, of course, 2018, and not the 1920s. I certainly was not going to wear a wool, plaid suit with long skirt in the wet and muddy fields of the Chargot and Molland estates in the Devon countryside of England in January. But the colors were divine! Natural camouflage is what the British wear, not something that makes you look like you’re about to storm the stronghold of a foreign terrorist.

For me I ordered Hunter brand boots in green online and after scrounging through my closet I found a pair of corduroys in the approximate color of stone that would do. But it was the outer wear that had me stumped. I had to find a jacket that I could wear in London for our days spent sightseeing and one that would keep me warm in the cold mornings on the shoot. I made an excellent purchase of a long khaki-colored down jacket from Ralph Lauren on sale! The topper to the whole thing was a topper – a plaid British driving cap. I was set. My sons, on the other hand, had the benefit of my father’s ample hunting wardrobe. He loaned them beautiful jackets and vests and bought them each a traditional silk country shooting tie to wear with a button-down shirt.
