"Hunting attire"

[mbhandy]

If that was Hunter Thompson, I'd guess a Hawaiian shirt, shorts, a bucket hat, some big aviator sunglasses and a cigarette holder....

here are links to the Thompson Hunting tartans from scotwebstore.com

Tartan finder on scotwebstore.com

type "thompson hunting" in the box next to the "find my tartan" button in the middle of the screen.


I'll bet one of those was what he meant.

'Hunting Attire' would be general daywear, ie: nothing with silver showing (someone once wrote 'because it would frighten away the animals' ! ). Basically a kilt in a darker hunting tartan (as opposed to a bright dress tartan - like 'Stewart Hunting' as opposed to 'Royal Stewart') with a plain leather sporran and a tweed jacket (not black with silver buttons). The sgian dhu would be horn handled rather than silver mounted and you could wear an antique brass belt buckle rather than a bright silver one. To compleat the outfit a real 'kiltie' would wear a plain Balmoral bonnet with his clan crest on
(this is of course silver but you can get the duller pewter ones). I think this is the image Thompson had when he wrote about 'Hunting Attire' and in fact I wear my day outfit probably more than I do my dress one.
