CLOTHING 461 



quickly, keeps out heat and cold, will not hold burs, 

 'and is cheap and durable. 



Jackets made of various kinds of skins are excellent 

 protection in cold weather. They are light, pliable, 

 impervious to wind, have a smart appearance, though, 

 as a rule, the upland shooter rarely needs overclothing 

 for the sake of warmth. His exercise keeps him warm. 

 Still, at the end of the day, if the hunter rides home, 

 he needs protection from the chill of evening, and 

 should have an overcoat in reserve for his comfort. 

 One weight of outer clothing will serve for all seasons, 

 hot or cold. 



The shooter can meet all requirements as to weather 

 by selecting his underwear, light or heavy, according 

 to the temperature. 



If the shooter desires to provide against stormy 

 weather, he can find a large variety of storm coats, 

 light and heavy in weight, made of rubber, oilskin and 

 Duxbak, the latter being a canvas partially waterproof. 

 If the shooter desires a raincoat for use on horseback, 

 he should be careful to so specify, as one not divided 

 in the back to a proper height so that it may spread 

 over the rider's legs, will not be a protection from rain.
