Here's my inner child at play with M1912 breeches, 16-inch LL Bean boots, Stetson Chatham hat and Filson Forester jacket. Gun is the new BPS in 16 gauge. Watson, the Brittany, is mere decoration, as he never learned to stay close in the field ...

Watson is a dead ringer for the Brit I Grew up with!
Nice photo, print a copy as a Sepiatone and frame it!

Looks real good!
Only two comments:
1. DX the tie... --lol. I have a hard believing, much less imagining, that anyone would wear a tie while hunting.
2. Go roll around in the dirt!!!!!! You look sooooo darn clean!
PS: Love that coat and that hat! |

Cool look, Baden! 
Are the breeches the real thing with a tapered lace-up bottom? Are they cotton khaki?
If so, please tell us where you got them. I need a couple similar pairs for chores and upland to fit into my boots. Thanks!

| Very dapper, which is defined as "describes a man who is neat and elegant in dress and manner". And that is you - - good job! |

Back in the day, a necktie was almost de rigueur ! |

| I love the tie. It sets the tone. Otherwise, why bother. The only issue from a practical standpoint would be how to add blaze orange so you're legal (and safe)? |
