Kevin simply sent us the photos and asked if it was OK to post them. Being that this outfit is his take on a traditional kilted shooting outfit we were fine with it. If you would like to do the same send us the pictures by PM.

And I will add my voice to the chorus. Are those jackets going to become available ?

Oh my word,what have I done?I have sent three lots of pictures to members and people want more!Right then,give me an hour or two and I will knock up a few pictures that,with a bit of luck,will give you an idea of our "traditional" shooting kit.I am afraid to say that the kilt is a rarity on our shooting field.

You might as well post them Jock (off topic perhaps?), it'll save you the trouble of multiple PM's

"Outstanding" is the word that comes immediately to mind !
We just love the outfit.
Congratulations !

Not too shabby, I must say I'm thoroughly impressed with that jacket, no wonder you were illiciting stares from others at that event, I'd like to havbe that jacket myself!

Thank you all for your accolades. I appreciate the kudos very much.

Cheers,

Kevin.

Actually you'll need a few more posts. You get to be a Kilted Samurai when you hit 250. Keep on posting!

Well here are a few pictures that show "our" kit from this side of the pond.No kilts I am afraid!Tweed and leather though.

A tweed three piece shooting suit.

Double gun case,single gun sleeve(should be two), 250 cartridge bag,shooting stick,tweed cap.

Hinged for fast loading flap.

Assorted tweeds on a shooting day.

The double guncase was made in 1924,the gunsleeve(s) were made in 1960,the cartridge bag was made in 1980,and the shooting suit was made in 2000.If you want to see what is inside the gun case you will have to PM me.Sorry.

You may wonder why the gaudy straps.There are two reasons,firstly it is for my loader to gather up my kit easily and secondly I can see where my loader is from a far so that he and I plus the correct kit arrive at the same place!

For deerstalking,often the same type of tweed suit(older more ragged),stout boots,waterproof(ish)coat.

Canvas rifle slip--too rough and wet for leather.Cromach,3 draw telescope(better than binoculars on the hill),telescope case,compass(I am never too proud to carry one),binoculars(woodland stalking),knife.If you want to know what is in the slip PM me.Sorry.
