On the hunt for fashion

Sir, – The frequent letters from John FitzGerald of Callan about the horrors of fox-hunting have become increasingly boring.

However, his most recent one (December 30th) caught my eye because it would seem that the attire of this age-old sport has changed somewhat.

He writes of “shining black jackets” and “well-polished gleaming jodhpurs”! Have the fashion houses of London, Paris, Rome and New York got together to invent new fabrics with which to dress our intrepid hunters? – Yours, etc,
