Hunt Attire

Comanche Creek Hunt is a welcoming organization more concerned with combining horses, hounds and fun than attire. The goal with clothing is to be functional, protective, safe, and respectful. Always strive to be clean and tidy. Traditionally, hunting during the weekday involves informal attire. Formal attire is worn on the weekend or special occasion. Regardless of the day or event, please come as you are. You are welcome to wear attire you may have from another discipline.
