1760-1790 Longhunter
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Hunting was a popular pastime and seasonal vocation in the 18th Century.
Much like today, hunting clothing was a variation of typical civilian clothing, with an additional layer of hunting-specific items.
The outer layer included a hunting frock and a sash or belt to close it.
Beneath this layer were the normal breeches, shirt, and waistcoat.
Full-length gaiters were worn to protect the legs, and shoes or moccasins protected the feet. *
