    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.
    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 shooting
    Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question

    It's not the actual dress choice I'm having trouble with, its the reason behind it. If you were blue-blooded landed gentry I'd understand, if it was entirely practical I can understand too. It's got this classless mongrel stumped All I can surmise is that it makes you happy, if so then good on ya. It would be a boring world if we all owned labs and spaniels

    I must add though, that I do like the way you present yourself at trials, it shows when someone is dressed to win. Putting effort into your appearance means you don't take the occasion lightly, you are there for business

    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 Northland
