About MeWool tweed hacking jacket and beige jodhpurs with suede knees.

Whilst still very elegant this outfit, dating to between 1960 and 1980, is rather more practical and comfortable for the female rider compared to 19th century riding habits. It is very similar to outfits worn today with its stretchy jodhpurs and tweed jacket, which are still traditionally worn whilst hacking in the countryside.
