I thought of buying one to wear in the Evening Pitch next time I'm at Redmire!

Perfect for getting a seat free both sides of you on the London Underground, I imagine...

Isn't that a character from the Adam's family? I think I prefer tweed after all...

Seriously though, a part of me agrees with Vole - on a private water (it would need to be private for that clobber to pass without comment..), where the fish are cagey, and where the water is gin clear...

Having some army connections myself I have considered a gilly suit in the past (but it would need to be made from various strips of Harris tweed to be properly trad!). I haven't gone that far but I do carry an army scrim netting scarf to put over my face when stalking chub.

It's actually quite similar in design to the rag jacket I wear when I'm out with Black Dog Molly Dancers - do you reckon I could press it into service for chub stalking trips?

A trifle on the garish side, perhaps..?
