Breeks work! Look up woolrich knickers or Filson plaid breeches!

The selection of warm-weather shooting attire in keeping with the spirit and decorum of an event (think Vintagers, Southern SxS, etc.) is pretty meager compared to the vast selection of "woolies" needed in colder weather. To compensate, about 25 years ago I took to purchasing easily obtainable garb from Orvis, LL Bean, Filson etc. and having it "customized" so to speak to suit the warmer climes.
I bought several pairs of golf slacks, both solid colors and patterns, and had my local tailor make breeks out of them; some with the traditional buckle fasteners, most with velcro for easy on and off. Some are seersucker; others poplin, most plain cotton. They are great to wear in hot weather and look nice with longer hose, a nice oxford cloth shirt and matching tie. (When it gets super sticky like the Southern fight after an afternoon thunderstorm, I'll often go to tropical "Ghurka" shorts but keep the kneesocks & flashes). My favorite accessory stylewise is my myriad collection of hats, which range from ratcatchers to sun helmets, Panamas, skimmers and deerstalkers, and offshore swordbills to grouse helmets. One can never have too many hats! |

Excellent ideas, Kevin. Compared to everything else, some custom clothing would be a modest investment.
