Mr. Cooper, a sportsman of Yorkshire celebrity, 

 was the first to show me this arrangement. 



For shooting, I prefer breeches, cut so as to 

 come well below the calf, and tying with flat tape 

 over the sock, an arrangement that does away 

 with the necessity of long stockings and garters

 boots or gaiters. There should be no hem at the 

 bottom of the legs of the breeches, or it may form 

 a ridge, and gall the legs.

 breeches, but thick moleskin, doubled inside the 

 legs, is not bad wear. 



In Equatorial Africa, during the intense heat 

 of the day, I generally wore a kilt and flannel 

 shirt, boots and gaiters, which dress I found 

 cooler and less liable to gall than trousers. Many 

 good sportsmen prefer the kilt to any other dress, 

 on account of the freedom and play it allows the 

 limbs.
