I ask because I sometimes encounter this phenomenon here in the Southern US. On a couple occasions when I have invited friends to come quail hunting (shooting, to you), they show up dressed in head to toe Orvis "hunting attire", complete with lots of tweed, leather recoil pads, specially crafted amber lensed shooting glasses, etc. This looks quite a bit out of place among the folks who are lifelong hunters around here that typically wear brush/briar pants that have seen better days, old ratty "plaid" (never called tartan!) flannel shirts, ancient LL Bean rubber-bottomed boots, etc!
Cordially,

Make no mistake the fellow with the tartan suit is a very serious shooting man and that suit is far from available from a normal "instant" shooting shop. It is just an unusual variation of a fairly normal theme.
Ranging from pretty smart.

To fairly standard UK driven game shooting attire, modelled by my family.
