All clothes old, battered and probably ill-fitting (e.g. M'lord's
old shooting jackets) but usually clean.
Solid leather shoes and woollen stockings.
Twill, corderoy or similar trousers, and usually braces.
Long sleeved woollen, linen or cotton shirt with collar.
Tweed jacket and unexciting tie.
Optional cloth cap.
