SPORT IN THE HIGHLANDS OF KASHMIR 



VI. — Clothes 



The clothes required are mainly warm things, and 

 the list of those actually necessary is a very short one. 

 I took too much, I found, and if going again on a three 

 months' trip I should be content with the following : — 



2 suits consisting of Norfolk jacket 



and knickers. 



1 Cardigan jacket. 



3 flannel shirts. 

 12 pairs socks. 



3 pairs putties. 



2 deerstalker cloth caps with flaps. 

 I cloth hat. 



1 sola topi (hat of sola pith). 

 24 pocket handkerchiefs. 



2 pairs knitted woollen gloves. 

 2 pairs fur-lined gloves. 



6 pairs knitted or 12 pairs puttoo 

 thread inner socks for grass 

 shoes. 



*I2 pairs quilted outer socks for 

 grass shoes. 

 2 pairs shooting boots. 



* 2 pairs chaplis with nails. 



* 4 pairs cowhide socks for chaplis. 



* I pair long puttoo boots. 



1 overcoat. 



2 Jaeger night-caps. 



3 Jaeger vests. 

 I leather belt. 



1 waterproof cape. 



2 suits woollen night-things. 

 2 pairs woollen drawers. 



2 pairs blue goggles. 



N.B. — The articles marked with an asterisk are best obtained at Srinagar. 



The suits should be of a sort of slate-gray colour. 

 On the right breast of the coat should be a pocket 

 fitted to hold ten Lee-Metford cartridges. The pockets 

 should be roomy, and the openings of the lower ones 

 should come well below the belt. They should be 

 provided with flaps to button down so as to keep out 

 rain and snow. Besides the ordinary two large pockets 

 of the knickers, a small one should be put in at the edge 

 near the top front button, as is usually done in riding 

 breeches, so that in rain the watch can be put in here 

 and partially protected from the weather. Excellent
