There is a long-established, specific, and honored
convention among foxhunters concerning dress correct attire for the occasion.
Although the variations are generally minor, each hunt actually prescribes its
own hunting attire for the Hunt Staff, or the men and women whom the Masters
have invited to wear the Hunts buttons and colors, for other adult members of
the Field and for juniors following hounds.
Formal dress is required of everyone on Saturdays during
our formal hunting season. On non-holidays and weekdays the Staff will wear
formal attire, but the Field may choose to dress in ratcatcher attire tweed
coats, plain black or brown boots, tan or rust breeches. During cubbing season
the Staff dresses in Tryon Hounds traditional green livery while the Field
dresses in ratcatcher attire.
The following outlines proper attire for different
situations. If there are further questions, please contact the Masters.
