    I believe the Victorians would not approve of wearing a dress tartan at a fox hunt.

    I doubt they were in favour of any tartan while hunting.

    Quite right! No tartan is worn fox hunting.

    Oh no! the trans-Atlantic thing again! Hunting in UK terms is with a pack of hounds and the followers are usually mounted and no firearms are seen(well not until very recent law amendments). BH you are showing a fox shoot! Not the same thing at all! Just to make it clear, in the UK we have shooting and we have hunting ,which are two distinct and very different pastimes. As we are talking UK here with tartan, then British terminology, I think, would be appropriate and that is precisely why I posted my picture to illustrate my point.

    The term "foxhunter" in your picture title is correct in a literal sense, but in terminology, quite incorrect! In Uk terms. Confusing, what?

    I actually would like a whole Harris Tweed outfit....I saw some nice tweed on Matt's site that would match my Newsboy cap!
