The gentleman on the left in the first picture is sporting a hat nearly identical to the one I have been wearing for years while upland hunting. I may look for a proper tie to go with my Borsalino hat this year.

neat hat for sure and addind a tie will make you look better yet....charlie

I hunted in Germany and Luxembourg for over seven years. On drive hunts in the 70's and 80's hunters were expected to wear a tie or a turtleneck. Or a subdued scarf.

amazeing..would like to have been on one of them hunts...the europeans seem to take their hunting apparel to a higher level than we do...charlie

Yes Charlie they do. Sometimes they even go to church just before the hunt on St Hubertus Day. 3 November. Priest blesses hunters, dogs, and guns at the alter. It truly is amazing and lots of grins.
