Post-shot ritual is the Uzbeki quail dance
That too...
Brian, you still wearing tweed when you hunt?Quote:

Do you find it easier to walk and live in while hunting or you doing it purely because it is traditional?
At a guess it would be much more user friendly that polarfleece.
Well other than I look great !!!! The vest has big pockets for shells or what ever and the breks are just the best for in and out of boots or if a little warm just socks to protect your legs .Tweed is all wool -the best fabric ever and its very comfortable to wear ...... you should try it sometime.
Uzbeki , dont bother packing to come north if you do
Obey Z Uzbeki or you cant shoot .................. better stick with those Chinese made hunting clothes:thumbsup:
Why would Uzbeki pretend to be something he isn't?
what you mean comfortable in wool ?
No, dressing like a tool :)
that doesnt say much about me but does about you ;)
Why would he wear tweed? I'd respect him if he turned up on a horse in his Macedonian grab but tweed?
lets face it Pointer the question asked was loaded , Petros can wear a dress for all I care if he enjoys it !! Im not one to knock another mans choice of clothes if he looks different than others ..although some are knockers in all areas of life....................
I'm all for it. Tweed may well be your culture, but it isn't NZs. My concern isn't the clothes themselves, its with the elitist tag associated with it. It is the exact reason that our forefathers and the acclimatization societies populated this country with game, so that every person could hunt it, not just the landed gentry.
Uzbek you need a donkey to ride in on

I couldn't see anything more impractical for my type of upland shooting where I do a lot of miles on what can turn out to be hot sunny days. Now I certainly could take notes in the presentation department in general and I do like your approach in dressing for trials but it would simply not be practical to wear that stuff while hunting. For me at least.Quote:

You guys crack me up!! Im wearing bare feet today!!:thumbsup:
one can get a sweat on Jim but one can in all clothes .I just take my vest off and have a cotton shirt underneath --not dead from exhaustion as yet .I also like the style of this cut of clothing it looks sharp and there is nothing long as being comfortable and dressed well even if it for shootingQuote:

It was a genuine question at the start but you seem to have taken it sideways .... Take it as you will...
As for an opinion
With NZ weather I don't think your dressing choice has too much use so the looks my be swaying your decision more than anything.
5 minutes it rains, 10 minutes its boiling hot. Waterproofs will make you sweat, anything else you'll get socked in it from the rain, so you screwed both ways. The way I see it, wearing less is the best, anything that dries fast. Looks for hunting don't matter, Trials jeans do the job really.
At the end whatever floats your boat Brian.
personally Jim , I think if all dressed like this it would make the events that little bit more special.There is nothing like doing stuff with finesse ,style and passion as it never made anything look less than what it was !! In general it is accepted NZrs have trouble putting their heads up as we have a real problem with the Tall Poppy gig here -- I dont and I celebrate the wonderful differences in people as long as theyre not hurting anyone go hard !! Come on Petros wear that dress ........
It was my fault Pete, I was being inflammatory and insinuated that El B is a tool. My apologies to both of you
I don't believe you but that doesn't matter !!! Just enjoy yourself Petros in what ever you do and don't knock others for doing so as-well --no offense taken and enjoy your weekend in NorthlandQuote:
