Plaid Hunting Breeks

[volatile]

OK, I just won these ridiculous things - a pair of red plaid hunting breeks!

What on earth can I wear them with?

How about a mackinaw?

I thought about that - but too much plaid? Hmm... I can't work out if these are "smart" or "casual", if you see what I mean...

Not at all ridiculous. Wear them with pride and if anybody makes snide comments, just tell them you're Canadian...

What would a Canadian wear with his plaid hunting breeks?

Hunting Breeches?

These are hunting breeches and are still worn for hunting and just plain being out in the snow with tall hunting boots (leather lace-up or rubber). They are super warm and were designed for hunting in the 30s, 40s and 50s. They are still functional and worn by many in snow country (northern NH). Nice find and hold onto them. Not sure about their use in London but would be great in colder regions of UK.

A mask...

what to wear

Yes indeed , tall lace up hunting boots, matching jacket ( I think 'Interstate' in
Covent Garden have a couple of vintage woolrich jackets}, plus a fine hat of your choosing. That would be a wonderful outfit for winter in London.
