The Hand.—Dark tan gloves or gauntlets, same as morning wear.
The Foot.—Riding boots or shoes are worn, according to taste of wearer.
The leathers used are patent or enamel.
Spurs of nickel or silver plate are worn.
The crop is always carried. This is silver mounted, and any selected wood.
The Body.—A four-button, single-breasted cutaway of any selected material and pattern—not black—is the proper body-coat. Very short skirts. Waistcoat same, or selected material. High cut; single-breasted.
Trousers.—They may be long, with straps.
They may be short—just below knee—buttoned at side and baggy above knee. Riding boots or leggings are worn with the knee-breeches, while with the trousers laced shoes are worn. The leggings are made to button, strap, or hook. The most stylish leggings are of the same material as the breeches.
Trousers or breeches should be of some light pattern; material should be strong. They are lined on the seat and inner side of legs with chamois skin.
For evening rides, as in academies, the black silk top-hat, white suéde gloves, single-breasted, black, cutaway body-coat, and strap trousers of the same material. Spurs and crop may be worn.
